New renderings reveal 20-story rental tower on the Gowanus Canal

New renderings offer a fresh look at a 20-story residential tower rising next to the Gowanus Canal. Located at 450 Union Street, Anagram Gowanus is the latest collaboration between developer Tankhouse and architectural firm SO-IL, whose projects often take an innovative approach to indoor-outdoor residential design. The 158-unit rental building will be no exception, featuring rotated floorplates designed to maximize waterfront views, operable windows, private terraces, and Juliet balconies, as well as a public esplanade along the canal.
