499 President Street Nears Completion in Gowanus, Brooklyn

NY Yimby

February 13 2025

Construction nearing completion on 499 President Street, a ten-story residential building in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by The Brodsky Organization and Avery Hall Investments, the 85-foot-tall structure will span 322,000 square feet and yield 262 rental units in studio to two-bedrooms layouts, with 88 homes designated for affordable housing, as well as 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Urban Atelier Group is the general contractor for the 1.6-acre property, which is bound by Union Street to the north, President Street to the south, and Nevins Street to the west.

The remaining sections of the brick façade have finished installation since our last update in late May, when crews were still working on the upper levels from suspended wooden platforms. Recent photographs show almost all of the protective film removed from the grid of industrial-style windows and the ground floor largely finished in its contrasting dark gray brick. The wraparound sidewalk shed is mostly disassembled and the remaining parts will be taken down in the coming weeks.

Homes feature 5-inch-wide plank floors, kitchen cabinetry with a white oak finish, and a stacked washer/dryer in every unit. Residential amenities at 499 President Street will include a lounge with coworking spaces, a private dining room, game room, gymnasium and a Pilates studio, an outdoor rooftop deck, and a rooftop swimming pool. Additional amenities include a garage with electric vehicle charging station, bike storage lockers, a shared laundry room, an on-site resident manager, and a community center with events and classes.

Brooklyn pizza joint Paulie Gee’s is among the retailers that has committed to 4,400 square feet of space in the retail portion of the project.

The nearest subway from the property is the R train at the Union Street station to the east along 4th Avenue.

499 President Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for February 2025, as noted on site.
