Building: The Genesis

The Genesis is a brand new boutique condominium nestled in southern Gowanus close to Park Slope, Greenwood, and Carroll Gardens. Interiors are warm, chic, and bright, blending modern design themes and high-quality materials with the historical industrial vibes of one of Brooklyn’s premiere up-and-coming neighborhoods. The building rises 5 stories and features 10 incredible 1- and 2-bedroom homes, an elevator, a bicycle room, a virtual doorman system, and a common rooftop deck with open neighborhood views.

Each apartment is an expression of contemporary urbanity. Wide plank white oak floors, open-concept layouts, and oversized windows complement stunning kitchens and bathrooms with bold stone surfaces and stylish fixtures. Corner kitchens are adorned with custom black-steel-framed cabinets, black Caesarstone quartz countertops, matte black porcelain backsplashes, and integrated high-end appliances from Blomberg, Fisher & Paykel, and Beko. Bathrooms feature matte black hardware, custom vanities, porcelain floors, and wall-mounted toilets. In addition, every home comes with a GE front-load washer and a high-efficiency electric dryer.

Residents enter The Genesis through an inviting lobby with custom-finished marble-look porcelain floors. They are moments from a variety of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, and are close to Prospect Park, Red Hook Park, and the renowned Green-Wood Cemetery. The F/G/R subway lines are all within five blocks from the building. Situated between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, Gowanus is a former industrial hub undergoing a steady transformation into a budding residential destination. Its namesake is the mile-long canal cuts through its center. Warehouses and factory spaces have become trendy galleries and artist studios, joining traditional row houses and an evolving flipbook of new development buildings and modern condominiums.

Gowanus residents enjoy easy access to an ever-expanding variety of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, most of which are clustered along Union Street and 3rd, 4th, and 5th Avenues. Brand name and boutique hardware and home improvement stores are holdovers from the neighborhood’s manufacturing past and sit closer to the canal. There is a Whole Foods just off the Fourth Street Basin, and The Bell House is a music and events venue where locals can catch big name artists and comedians as well as up-and-coming acts. A short five-block journey leads to the verdant walking trails and expansive lawns within Prospect Slope, and a trip over the Ninth Street Bridge leaves one with the dining and shopping options of Carroll Gardens. The F, G, and R subway lines have multiple stops within the neighborhood, and residents are also served by several local bus lines.
