The Gowanus Canal has long symbolized Brooklyn’s industrial past, but a bold new vision is set to redefine its future. Renowned architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has unveiled renderings for a new project at 175 Third Street, proposing a visually striking “three-dimensional neighborhood” that merges dynamic design, community spaces, and over 1,000 new residential units along the canal’s edge.

Announced as part of a broader redevelopment plan, the updated concept replaces a previous 2023 proposal with a more functionally integrated and environmentally responsive design. Backed by developers Charney Companies and Tavros, with collaboration from dencityworks | architecture, the tower’s new direction highlights BIG’s ongoing commitment to human-centric, sustainable urbanism.
