Columbia Street Waterfront District Getting Some More Housing

According to Brownstoner, the warehouse at 25 Carroll Street (between Columbia and Van Brunt) is going residential:

"The five-story masonry and heavy-timber structure at 25 Carroll Street (between Columbia and Van Brunt) has gotten a variance to convert the space to 17 loft residencies."

It is a shame that Brooklyn's naturally deep harbor is a working waterfront no more, but such is life. I am encouraged to see an existing, somewhat historic structure repurposed, as it is one of the only ways to keep construction costs affordable while maintaining some of the past from this neighborhood.
