Toll Brothers reveals plans for Gowanus Canal development

Toll Brothers has revealed its plans for its big development along the Gowanus Canal: 577 residential units are planned, including 130 affordable units, along with 2,000 square feet of community space, 2,000 square feet of retail space and a waterfront esplanade. The developer has asked the city to rezone a three-acre property between the canal and Bond, Carroll and Second streets as a “special mixed use district.” The buildings will be four to 12 stories and the tallest structure will be 125 feet.
