The residential project of $ 1,000 starts in Gowanus, as “Starchitect” reveals the vision of the rental tower of 1,000 units

Big is again and better – to Gowanus.

The developers of 175 Third St. St. They played the architectural firm of Bjarke Ingalls in demand to design their planned rental apartment tower, of 1,000 units, and is nothing like the previous concept of Big for the owner of the previous place Aby Rosen, Rfor Realty.

The new 175 Third St. From the expanding residential district of Charney Companies and Tavros will be more than 27 stories that include more than one million square feet, the fifth building of the members in four different places on the eastern side of the Gowanus channel.

The images on this page reveal the new vision of Ingalls for the first time, which the architect described as “stacked blocks of cascading concrete volumes, cascading towards the seashore of the channel”.

“We had our eyes on the place forever,” said Charney Companies director Sam Charney. “But someone else always owned it” until “the price finally went down [to $164 million] And we knew this was the time. ”The purchase was closed in May.

When Rfr was rescued, Charney and Tavros were expected to choose a different architect. Instead, they liked the new concept of Ingalls the best of the proposals requested by half a dozen “Starchitects”.

“We didn’t like the previous iteration,” Charney told Realty Check. “It was inefficient and difficult to build. It had a red brick design that drowned the [red brick] Structure of the arts of the power plant next to it. “”

But the new conception of Ingalls “missed us,” said Charney. Its textured “architectural concrete” will seem like the rock “: a tribute to the industrial past of the area. The enchanted and sloping corners at various heights generate” fresh outer spaces “.

A federal cleaning on the two -kilometer two -kilometer -long channel that started ten years ago promoted the city to raise 82 blocks in the old low -height manufacturing area for residential use. The rush to create about 9,000 new rental apartments promoted a rise of construction.

Part of the channel once toxic, a long kick of the foot, arose as the unlikely of the district. The waterway now suggests a picturesque and slow river among the beautiful apartment towers on both sides.

The seafront at the seafront will end with the length of the canal, with each developer responsible for the segment in front of their buildings. The Charney and Tavros are installed in their snowfall and the third street facades will be landscaped by High Line Park’s fame operations operations.

The construction of 175 Third St. It will probably begin when the buildings on Nevins and Douglass Street are over a year from now on.

The new street 175 Third will have 1,000 rental units, of which 25% are “affordable”, as required by the compulsory inclusive zoning of the neighborhood. Charney and Tavros’ 224 United Union Channel, which opened in February and already has 60% rent; and the port of Douglass at 251 Douglass St. And snowfall landing at 310 and 340 St. snowfall, both under construction.

Sam Charney estimated the cost of development of 175 Third St., including the purchase of land, about $ 1 billion. With 100,000 square feet of detailed space, it will be the jewel of the crown of what Charney and Tavros call a “Gowanus campus”, although the buildings are not next to each other. It will have a public park of 30,000 square feet with 250 feet of promenade; Sports facilities, dogs, roof lounges, spa swimming pools and a three -hectare garden patio, as well as 35,000 square feet of interior products.
