Bringing you Gowanus…

So today was shooting day in Gowanus despite the rain we got some good shots to share.

Love lives here too 🙂

For those that are unfamiliar with it, its an Industrial area that is undergoing some rezoning and restructuring to say the least, so much has come her in the last 5 years. The Lightstone Group, built an amazing rental complex sitting right on the Gowanus canal, yes it is a super fund site ..but the old adage holds true… “if you build it they will come”.

They are coming, people are living there and Bond Street has never been this busy..I like that, people walking about, strolling, riding, visiting and WOW what treats have arrived too. WE have the pleasure of being home to Ample Hills Creamery, Dinosaur BBQ, Littleneck, Cotto-Bene, Lavender Lake, BBQ fans you gotta hit up PIG BEACH .OHHH and let us not forget ….Monte’s since 1906 !! WHAT !! Totally re-done and serving some pretty tasty brick oven pizza and it has a parking lot ! OMG that is expensive Real Estate 🙂 ..

Whole Foods market anchored down years ago and still kicking it, The Royal Palms Shuffle Board club.. AMAZING – what an environment done so so well. This is just the beginning, so many properties are being sold, held, rented short term in light of whats yet to come…

If you are familiar with Gowanus the abandoned brick building with old school writing on it, SOLD for $38Million… hmmm amazing huh ! Selling Real Estate in Brooklyn has afforded me an opportunity I could not have ever imagined. I have been so fortunate to get to know a borough I otherwise would not have explored much, not only living here, working here, allowed me to get intimate with so many areas, to learn about the architecture, the beat, the vibes, the energy, the creatives that run here, the FREE spirited, and the diversity is amazing. The food, the Real Estate, the people here make this the place to be. Gowanus is dripping in street art..such talent resides here !

Brooklyn is an amazing place and being afforded this opportunity to see with my own  eyes a city being built, amazes me and confirms my passion for people and Real Estate.

Watching a skyline form, Bridges coming down, new ones going up, Industrial areas getting cleaned out, attractions and great things to do. Walk across the Bridge, go rock climbing at Brooklyn Boulders, explore Brooklyn Bridge Park, take a ferry to Manhattan, kick back at Prospsect Park the choices are endless that’s just about everywhere in Brooklyn. So WHY Brooklyn ? Because Brooklyn is where it’s at ! Enjoy your visit and buy some Real Estate..call me let’s explore together and do not forget to askimma.
