"The new design by starchitect Bjarke Ingels Group for a much bigger and taller building will dramatically change the corner of 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street, rising steeply at the edge of the sidewalk across from Whole Foods and obscuring the landmarked canal-side PowerHouse Arts."
"The proposal features connected concrete and glass towers rising along 3rd Street between the canal and 3rd Avenue. Gridded facades with chamfered corners and exposed structural elements give the development a distinctive look."
"While the permit for the new building has not yet been issued, an application submitted in September of 2025 says it will include 1,071 apartments over 27 stories, reach 281 feet tall, and have roof terraces on the 14th, 16th, and 18th floors."
A prominent site in Gowanus is being redeveloped into a 27-story building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group. The project will include 1,071 apartments, with 250 designated as affordable housing. The building will rise 281 feet and feature commercial space. The design includes concrete and glass towers with distinctive facades. Excavation and foundation work permits have been issued, and the site has been cleared of previous structures. The development aims to significantly alter the area around 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street.
