Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building with 18 units at 135-137 Prospect Avenue in Gowanus. A rendering from Samuel Wieder Architects shows a modern structure with a brick façade, expansive windows and penthouses with rooftop terraces. A pair of permits for the site indicate the structure will actually be two distinct buildings, and renderings show two separate residential entrances. Samuel Wieder Architects is listed on permits along with property owner Martin Landau.
This area of Gowanus has a mix of residential and industrial structures and the site for the new development replaces a single-story industrial building. The location is adjacent to an elevated portion of the Prospect Expressway leading to the Gowanus Expressway (I-278) but is just one block to the R subway station at Prospect Avenue and Fourth Avenue. Prospect Park is less than ten bocks away and the location is walkable to neighborhood eateries and shops, though few are in the immediate surrounding blocks. New development has been steadily occurring in the neighborhood and in recent years, new condominiums like Seven on Seven and rental buildings like 363 Bond Street have made their debut.
