What happened
New York YIMBY reported on October 24, 2026 that permits have been filed for a six-story residential building at 124 2nd Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The corner lot sits at 2nd Street and Bond Street, near the Carroll Street subway station on the F and G trains.
Susan Wu of Stanford Capital Holdings LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications. Robert Bianchini of ARC Architecture + Design Studio is listed as the architect of record.
The plans call for a 75-foot-tall concrete building with 10,828 square feet of residential space and seven homes. The average unit would be about 1,546 square feet. Based on that size, YIMBY says the homes will most likely be condos. The building would also have a penthouse and one enclosed parking space.
Demolition permits were filed in October 2026 for the three-story structure now on the site. No completion date has been announced.

Background
In New York City, new building and demolition applications are generally filed with the Department of Buildings (DOB). A filing is not an approval. DOB reviews the plans and must issue permits before work can start. A new building also needs a certificate of occupancy before people can legally move in. Projects can change or stall between filing and completion.
