365 and 363 Bond Street work together to create a neighborhood-like community along the Gowanus Canal.

“The project challenged us to find a sweet spot between edgy industrial and Brooklyn brownstone. We managed that by weaving some common materials through a varied landscape of height and scale.” Hill West Co-Founding Partner David West

At 365 Bond, weathered brick, raw concrete, and large expanses of mullioned glass refer to the area’s industrial past. Although the building occupies an entire block its variety of scale and height make it feel like a neighborhood rather than a building.

365 Bond is the first of a pair of buildings with 363 Bond, at the edge of historic Carroll Gardens. Designed as a complimentary pair, each building stands alone but shares a commonality of form and materials. The facades relate and both buildings look and acts like a series of buildings working in tandem to create a well-balanced neighborhood.The buildings both front a richly landscaped public esplanade designed by Brooklyn landscape architect Lee Weintraub and are adjacent to the historic Carroll Street Bridge.

The units are anything but identical in this building, with over 66 unique layouts. There are duplex townhouse units with entries off the street that are surrounded by front gardens much like other townhouses in the neighborhood. Many units have private roof terraces and those that don’t can enjoy one of many outdoor amenities or a view into the serene inner courtyard from the floor to ceiling industrial windows.

Amenities include a living lobby and community center, several lounges, a fitness center, valet parking, roof decks, and community spaces for kayak storage and a boat launch.
