Building Description

Once occupied by marshy wetlands, the area around 215 Hoyt Street started seeing development after landfill in the early 1800s made it an attractive residential neighborhood. In 1948 the New York City Housing Authority selected the two blocks enclosed by Wyckoff, Hoyt, Douglass, and Bond streets for an affordable apartment complex. Fourteen brick towers between 4 and 13 stories high were erected here, totaling 1,134 apartments. Known as Gowanus Houses, the property features a leafy plaza accentuated by curving iron fences. Part of the Gowanus Houses property was reserved for the Nicholas Naquan Heyward, Jr. Park.

The Gowanus Houses are one block away from the trend-setting eateries and nightspots of Brooklyn's Smith Street, while shopping and services are also plentiful in the vicinity of 215 Hoyt Street. It is a short walk for residents to board the F and G trains for trips into Manhattan, and the R, N and 2 lines are also convenient.
