601 Baltic Street Tops Out in Gowanus, Brooklyn

Construction is progressing on 601 Baltic Street, a topped-out ten-story residential building in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Orlando Diaz of Form4 Design Studio and developed by Yiannes Einhorn of Einhorn Development Group, the 30,018-square-foot structure will yield 25 condominium units spread across 22,659 square feet as well as 1,654 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Built By Grid is the general contractor and King Contracting Group in charge of the brick and CMU work for the property, which is located at the corner of Baltic Street and Fourth Avenue.

The structure has topped out since our last update in late January. Scaffolding and construction netting now cover most of the southeastern and southwestern walls, as the brick façade is steadily being installed between the grid of large windows.

We can spot some of the blue waterproof membrane framing the windows on the bottom floors above the sidewalk scaffolding.
