Top Real Estate News
Here’s a quick roundup on real estate news happening around this part of Brooklyn:
Society Brooklyn, a newly completed two-tower, 21-story development in Gowanus, brings 517 residential units and 57,000 square feet of retail space to the neighborhood. Society Brooklyn is a mix of studio to three-bedroom apartments, with 25% designated as affordable housing. Amenities include gyms, outdoor pools, sun decks, and a rooftop terrace with views of the Gowanus Canal. [CoStar]
CityPickle is set to transform Anchorage Plaza beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO into a vibrant 60,000-square-foot recreational hub. The project, named "CityPickle Brooklyn Bridge," will feature 11 pickleball courts, curated food trucks, shaded seating areas, and green spaces, along with amenities like a dog run, chess tables, and public art installations. This initiative marks the first public use of the space in over 15 years, repurposing former DOT parking lots into a community-focused venue. The courts are expected to open sometime from Fall 2025, operating seasonally, while other amenities will be available year-round. [New York Business Journal]
