Construction is continuing on Nevins Landing, a two-tower residential development at 310–340 Nevins Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed by Charney Companies and Tavros Capital, the 22-story project consists of Nevins Landing North at 310 Nevins Street and Nevins Landing South at 340 Nevins Street. The two buildings will span a combined 600,000 square feet and yield 654 rental units, with 25 percent reserved for affordable housing. The 2.3-acre project site is alternately addressed as 417 Carroll Street and located on a large rectangular parcel along the Gowanus Canal between Union and Carroll Streets.
The western portion of Nevins Landing North’s podium was built since our last update in early September, when crews were still prepping the land along the canal with piling machines and excavators. The northwest corner of this segment will eventually connect to the unfinished floor plates on 310 Nevins Street, which extend west from the topped-out reinforced concrete superstructure.

Work is also progressing on Nevins Landing North’s exterior, with crews framing the fenestration with metal studs and insulation boards. The first windows have begun installation on the broad arched openings on the lower levels.

Meanwhile, Nevins Landing South’s exterior is beginning to be revealed from behind the assembly of scaffolding and netting that shrouded the entire building at the time of our last update.

Nevins Landing South is expected to span 290,000 square feet and yield 306 rental units, as well as ground-floor retail space with 225 feet of frontage along Union Street and the Gowanus Canal. Nevins Landing North will span 306,000 square feet and yield 348 rental units, and will also feature ground-floor retail with 225 feet of frontage along Union Street and the Gowanus Canal.
The above and below renderings show the two buildings’ position along the Gowanus Canal and the shared esplanade that is being designed by James Corner Field Operations. The buildings have nearly identical superstructures with large multistory podiums topped with landscaped terraces. Above, the towers rise in broad volumes with walls that angle outward on the northern and southern ends, and culminate in landscaped roof decks. Both properties will feature the same brick cladding, grid of rectangular and half-arch windows on the podium, and wide arches of finished concrete on the towers.

In 2021, Nevins Landing set the record for the largest residential development deal in New York City when Property Markets Group sold the 101,118-square-foot plot to the current developers for $102 million. Brokerage firm TerraCRG closed the transaction by January 2022. The zoning for the site allowed for 505,590 square feet of buildable square feet.
The site is a short walk from the R train at the Union Street station.
Nevins Landing’s anticipated completion date is slated for the spring of 2026, as noted on site.

The project looks great but it can’t go unmentioned that the windows appear less elegant than the renderings, including the loss of the outside corner radius glass.
I agree
100%
I’d bet a lot of the affordable units will be on the lower floors facing the courtyards.
Affordable housing credited to Hudson Yards is being built at 48th and 10th and I hear as far north at 125th St. so the units may not even be on site.
It’s nice the setback towers are different in materials to break down the scale. All in all, it’s a very nice design, but I wish there was some color somewhere. The window mullions could have been a dark red to add some warmth.
Segmented glass instead of Curved… 🙁
It’s nice, but maybe they should have finished cleaning the area before developing the area? Who would want to live in a superfund sewage dump for $4000 a month?
I know it’s hard to comprehend for some people, but they are doing BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Amazing, isn’t it?
