From the heart of DUMBO to the farthest reaches of Red Hook, townhouse rows are making a comeback and attracting attention all over Brooklyn. With Carroll Street Townhomes, the phenomenon has spread to the Columbia Street Waterfront District, an area primarily known for its factory conversions but not immune to the old-world Brooklyn charm of its neighbors in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. Construction on this collection of six single-family, four-story homes is well underway.

The model of Carroll Street Townhomes is historic, but its building to Passive House standards is a new and enthusiastically received phenomenon. Triple-glazed doors and windows and an interior/exterior air exchange keep the homes at a consistently comfortable temperature with only a fraction of the energy used by traditional heating and cooling systems. It is the more environmentally friendly choice, and residents will also be happy to see a difference in their energy bills.
