450 Union Street is a site that demands a thoughtful, sophisticated design approach. Its unique urban setting as one of the premier sites on the Gowanus Canal combined with its mixed-use, multi-family program allows for place-making in a way that is rare in Brooklyn. 450 Union Street will bring together nearly 142k of multi-family product specifically tailored to young professionals and young families looking to make Gowanus and everything the neighborhood has to offer, home. Units will be efficiently sized, but will provide ample natural light and air as well as a diversity of private, semi-private, and fully shared outdoor spaces.

The design will optimize the integration of the canal frontage and associated public park space to create a vibrant ground floor of private amenities and activated retail spaces. Additionally, the project will aim to create indoor/outdoor amenities at upper floor set-backs that take advantage of the tranquility and views inherent to the site. A complement of amenities will include private parking, a gym, a children's playroom and art studio, lounge(s) with a commercial kitchen, and ample work space optimized for the remote work environment.
