A new waterfront esplanade recently opened at Society Brooklyn, a completed mixed-use residential complex consisting of two 21-story rental buildings at 500 Degraw Street and 504 Sackett Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Property Markets Group, the 225-foot-tall structures span 594,000 square feet and will yield 517 residential units, as well as 57,000 square feet of commercial space, and 21,000 square feet dedicated to the “Gowanus Mix,” a space for local makers, artisans, and creatives. Twenty-five percent of the apartments are reserved for affordable housing that are being overseen by Affordable for New York under the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing Program. The property is bounded by DeGraw Street to the north, Sackett Street to the south, the Gowanus Canal to the east, and Bond Street to the west.
