  • Gowanus Gentrified?
    Gowanus Gentrified? Community Responses to Gentrification and Economic Development in the Shadow of the Superfund Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein Senior Thesis for the Urban Studies Program Barnard College, Columbia University Submitted April 18, 2012 Thesis Advisor: Meredith Linn Abstract Gowanus is an industrial neighborhood changing into a gentrified area, but it faces such severe pollution that the EPA designated the Gowanus Canal, which bisects the area, a Superfund site in 2010. The industry still in Gowanus includes a mix of traditional industrial businesses, craft industries, and artists, but they might disappear if developers build luxury condos in the neighborhood. This study looks at the clash between activists over how the community has and will change, focusing on the pro-development Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and the preservationist and pro-Superfund Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus. Many local activists embrace the vision of Gowanus as a place for making things and hope to maintain industry. Even though industry left the neighborhood polluted, most do not connect the two. The Superfund seeks to clean up the neighborhood but it may pave the way for environmental gentrification, which is the pollution cleanup causing gentrification. However, fears of the Superfund harming home prices do not appear to be true; GIS analysis shows that land closest to environmental hazards increased the most in value. Residents also hope to avoid the experiences of other New York neighborhoods, which saw gentrification cause displacement. More than residential displacement, though, activists worry about the culture of Gowanus disappearing and hope to save it. Their remedies such as historic preservation and zoning Gowanus for mixed use may not be effective or viable, though.

  • Market Report Brooklyn
    First Quarter 2021 Residential Market Report Brooklyn BHSID 19098184 We’re growing! Halstead has joined Brown Harris Stevens - which means BHS now has 2,500 agents and 55 offices in luxury markets across NYC, the Tristate area, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, and Miami. Historically ranked among the nation’s top residential firms, in 2019 both firms combined closed 6,000 transactions totaling more than $9 billion. Simply put, we have more resources than ever to support our trusted clients. We are here to serve you, and Brown Harris Stevens has never been stronger. We look forward to working together. BHSID 20650302 BHS 1 Message from Bess Freedman CEO of Brown Harris Stevens The Brooklyn residential market remained hot in the first quarter of 2021, with prices for both apartments and townhouses higher than a year ago. Apartment prices averaged $939,368, which was 13% more than 2020’s first quarter. The average 1-3 family house price of $1,289,768 represented a 7% improvement over the past year. Apartment sales continued to surge in 2021’s first quarter, with the number of closings up 20% from a year ago. That’s impressive considering COVID-19 had very little impact on closings in the first quarter of 2020, while it is still impacting our economy today. Contracts signed in the first quarter to buy a Brooklyn apartment hit their highest level in almost four years, a sign that this momentum is only getting stronger. BHSID 20625191 BHS 2 Q1 2021 Cooperatives & Condominiums Both the average and median prices posted strong gains compared to 2020’s first quarter.

  • Gentrifying a Superfund Site: Why Gowanus, Brooklyn Is Becoming a Real Estate Hot Spot
    Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development Vol. 14, Iss. 2 (2015), Pp. 214–224 Gentrifying a Superfund Site: Why Gowanus, Brooklyn is Becoming a Real Estate Hot Spot Rebecca Salima Krisel School of International and Public Affairs Columbia University, New York [email protected] Abstract This feature length article tells the story of Gowanus, a Brooklyn neighborhood on the Gowanus Canal, haunted by the pollutants of its industrial past.. The Environmental Protection Agency recognized the Gowanus Canal as a Superfund cleanup site in March 2010. Yet Gowanus is experiencing an economic and cultural revival. What was historically a booming manufacturing area with active warehouses spilling their waste into the Gowanus Canal is now an industrial site where middle to upper class families, seeking to purchase organic foods, are willing to relocate and settle down. As of December 2014, a two-bedroom condo boasting waterfront views and located just one block away from the Gowanus Canal on Carroll Street was priced at $1,549,000. The average price per square foot for homes in Gowanus is 50 percent higher than the rest of Brooklyn. This story links issues of sustainable development and current urban housing needs in New York City. My research rested primarily on interviews with subjects who have expertise in the changes of the neighborhood. I was fortunate to speak with a real estate agent who specializes in Gowanus, a representative at an affordable housing advocacy group working on development in Gowanus, two separate families who moved to the area when they started began having children, and a life-long resident of 27 years.
