Scaffolding is up in the skinny space between the Coignet at 360 Third Avenue and the new Gowanus Whole Foods at 214 3rd Street, Gowanus Your Face Off reported. A “work in progress” sign has also gone up on the site which gives a few details about the restoration and the property’s work permit. A projected completion date is indicated as late 2014.
