Yet Another Gowanus Hotel is on the Rise

Don't look now, but yet another hotel is on the rise in Gowanus (assuming you consider the west side of Fourth Avenue to be in Gowanus, which Gowanus Lounge does). The new structure, which is rising at 370 Fourth Avenue, next to the big cab depot, is said to be an 8-floor, 48-room "extended stay," boutique hotel. It may not look like much now, but it will be across the street from Leviev Boymelgreen's Park Slope Tower. A bar/restaurant is planned for the eighth floor. The site is owned by T&L Investors Corp.

There is also a new Holiday Inn Express on Union Street in Gowanus, although the hotel chain keeps saying that it is in Park Slope. Other lodgings are coming to South Brooklyn too, including a Comfort Inn on Baltic Street near the Gowanus Houses and a nearly 300-room expansion of the Brooklyn Marriott.
