Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates
Gowanus site offered on 99-year lease
A team led by James Dario of Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates is marketing a 99-year ground lease on a Gowmanus development site.
The family-owned, four-building site comprises 20,000 s/f with over 125ft. of frontage along Second Avenue and over 180 ft. along 14th Street in Gowanus. The site has an FAR of 2, allowing for development of up to 40,000 s/f
Owned for more than 100 years by the Ranieri family, who have operated building supply operations at the site, the property is convenient to the Gowanus Expressway and within walking distance to the Prospect Avenue N, R and D subway lines.
“The Gowanus and nearby Park Slope neighborhoods have seen an influx of residential, retail, restaurant and other commercial development in recent years, and this parcel would be perfect for a variety of uses, including a restaurant/beer garden that could make use of an expansive courtyard accessible by two of the existing structures,” said Dario, who noted the M2-1 zoning currently precludes residential development.
“The property would also be a good fit for restaurant and building supply businesses, self-storage use or even music, art and film studios that have been popping up throughout the borough.”
