202 8th Street is a 12 story rental building in Gowanus whose two tone façade shifts from a dark, projecting center to a red brick base and angled upper volume. Developed in 2012 by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group, the 25 apartment building was designed by Cetra/Ruddy, with an unusual fenestration pattern and a mid block profile.
The building has a furnished rooftop terrace with a grill and seating areas, a fitness center, landscaped courtyard, full service garage, part time doorman, bicycle room, cold storage, and private basement storage for tenants. These services give the relatively small rental building a substantial amenity program without the scale of a large residential tower.
Residences have high ceilings, solid oak floors, custom Italian cabinetry, integrated stainless steel appliances, marble counters and backsplashes, and bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and glass enclosed showers. In unit washers and dryers are common in the rental offerings, while balconies, patios, and larger terraces appear in select layouts. The building's range includes studios, one and two bedroom homes, and duplexes; one two level one bedroom arrangement places the main living space above a lower recreation room and private patio.
At the crossroads of Gowanus and Park Slope, 202 8th Street is close to the restaurants and shops along Fifth and Seventh Avenues, Washington Park, and Prospect Park. The Barclays Center, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Brooklyn Public Library are also nearby, while the 9th Street and Fourth Avenue station serves the R, F, and G trains.
