Gowanus has undergone huge transformation in the last decade—its proximity to some of the best and coolest neighborhoods in Brooklyn have made it the prime spot to be right now despite its canal. Whole Foods moving in was just the tip of the iceberg.

And now that the neighborhood is one of the most desirable in NYC, moving here is more difficult than ever. Luckily, the city has made it possible.

The Shop Workspace will open a new 12,000-square-foot flex office location in Brooklyn, N.Y., at 420 Carroll, a 380,071-square-foot mixed-use development in the Gowanus neighborhood.

The new space will open in early 2025 on the building’s second floor and marks the flex office provider’s third location nationwide. The other two are in Salt Lake City and New Orleans.

An affordable housing lottery opened for the new Gowanus Canal towers at 420 Carroll Street, according to Brownstoner. The development, part of the Gowanus rezoning initiative, offers 89 rent-stabilized income-restricted apartments, including studios starting at $784 per month. The project, expected to be LEED-certified, features modern amenities like smart controls, Wi-Fi enabled appliances, a gym, a cinema and a rooftop terrace.

The development has waterfront views of the Gowanus Canal and several amenities. The 21- and 16-story buildings are the first properties developed after the 2021 Gowanus rezoning.

A housing lottery launched this week for 90 mixed-income apartments at the first residential project developed under the Gowanus rezoning. The two-tower rental at 420 Carroll Street includes 360 apartments, 25 percent of which are priced below market rate, commercial space, and a new public promenade along the Gowanus Canal.
