Bond Street Retail Space To Become Sales Office For Ultra Luxe Condo Development At 613 Baltic Street And Fourth Avenue?

 Rendering of development at 613 Baltic Street at 4th Avenue

A few days ago, a friend and local resident reached out to ask if we knew what was moving into the one story retail space at 303 Bond Street at the corner of Union Street in Gowanus.
In recent years, the 3600 sq ft. space has been used as an event space and a performing arts center.
However, some intriguing new signage has gone up on the building's façade. 'Baltic'? 'Park Slope'?
Obviously, whoever was taking over the space had the street name and the neighborhood all wrong.
A quick goggle search, however, reveals that 303 Bond Street will obviously become the sales showroom for 613 Baltic Street , a 44-unit mixed-use luxury condominium building at 4th Avenue by JDS Development Group, which is currently under construction.  The apartments, which range from $950,000 to over $3,000,000, will be marketed by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.

JDS Development Group, of course, is known for its super tall luxury tower on 57th Street in Manhattan.  613 Baltic Street is the developer's first ventures in Brooklyn.

On their way from the Baltic Street development site to the sales office on Bond Street,  prospective luxe condo buyers may find themselves crossing the Gowanus Canal.  Their conversations and observation are bound to be interesting as they make their way over the fetid waterway.

Just a few months ago, Taliah Performing Arts Center, a 3,600 square foot rehearsal/performance venue located in Carroll Gardens/Gowanus, opened its doors to empower women through the performing arts. Founded by Tamar Reich, the center at 303 Bond Street (between Union and Sackett) offers both acting and dance studios just for women. Classes are given every day and include Scene Study, Belly Dancing, Flamenco and starting this week, Irsaeli Folk Dancing.

The cost is $64 a month, $20 drop in. $15 first trial class for Carroll Gardens residence.

So, if you haven't discovered Taliah yet, make sure to stop by to check out this unique place and sign up for a class.
From the center's web site:

With an emphasis on the craft of acting and the art of dance, taught by an acclaimed and international diverse group of teachers, Taliah is a space for women to have fun, tap into their inner child, dig deep into their souls, create, inspire and be inspired within the safety of an embracing women’s-only environment. The acting and dance studio will have a special division for kids and teenage girls to encourage and help them find expression and confidence through the exploration of these powerful mediums. Taliah will also provide a showcase for the monologues, scenes and dance compositions in special evenings celebrating the courage and beauty of these powerful women. Taliah not only encourages women to create their own work and stories but will also offer professional guidance that will allow them to excel in doing so.

Taliah which was born out of a one woman’s need for a creative outlet, is proud in being a place that will give room and opportunities to all women including women from the Jewish communities to help change the reality derived from the limited resources out there to express their creativity, and to lift the barriers that keep them from creating and expressing their own personal journeys.
