The rentals reshaping Gowanus: A guide to the neighborhood’s new apartment buildings

By Devin Gannon

Thanks to a 2021 rezoning expected to create 9,000 new apartments, paired with an environmental clean-up of the long-contaminated canal, Gowanus is booming. More than 140 residential buildings are planned for the neighborhood, and several are already completed, attracting individuals and families seeking amenity-rich buildings and easy access to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn, while being relatively more affordable than neighboring Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. At the center of the community is the Gowanus Canal, which, as its federally-mandated Superfund cleanup continues, is expected to become a new waterfront park, flanked by a promenade, retail, and recreational space. As development continues to reshape the neighborhood, we're taking a look at the best new rental projects in Gowanus.

While the skyline is always evolving, the mark of Robert A.M. Stern, who died this year at 86, is ever-present, with two limestone-clad towers on this year's list that serve as tributes to classic New York. 6sqft has narrowed our picks down to 14 of the most notable residential projects of the year.

Here's how far Manhattan real estate has come (or perhaps how far, to hat-tip the late Jimmy Cliff, it has to fall). With no sign of a slowdown in sight, this penthouse at 125 Perry Street is asking $85 million. The apartment could set a price record for Downtown Manhattan, but it's competing with a nearby condo last listed for $87.5 million that entered contract this past summer. The 7,000-square-foot condo residence on Perry Street sits atop a corner brick building that was once a parking garage, as Mansion Global reported.
