The Domain Companies closes $205 million refinancing for 420 Carroll

Brooklyn, NY The Domain Companies has closed on a $205 million refinancing for 420 Carroll, the first project completed under the 2021 Gowanus rezoning. The development comprises 360 mixed-income apartments, 27,000 s/f of commercial space and a 470-ft.-long public promenade along the canal. JLL and Newmark arranged the financing and an affiliate of Alliance-Bernstein L.P. provided the bridge takeout loan.

Located on the Gowanus Canal waterfront, 420 Carroll comprises 360 mixed-income apartments, 90 of which are designated as affordable for individuals and families earning between 40 and 100% of the area median income. The development features a 21-story tower and an adjacent 16-story tower connected by a subterranean tunnel, allowing residents to access amenities in both buildings. 420 Carroll includes over 27,000 s/f of ground floor retail space, with pottery studio Hey Clay and grocery store Gowanus Marketplace.

420 Carroll was designed by FXCollaborative, with interiors by Alan Mainer Studios. Construction began in May 2022 and resident move-ins started in February 2025. Good Company, an affiliate of Domain Companies, is overseeing residential leasing from an onsite office, with studios to 3-bedroom residences available.

420 Carroll combines a breadth of premier amenities with a unique approach to design that honors the neighborhood’s rich cultural and artistic character. Residential amenities include a lounge, multiple outdoor greenspaces including a 470-ft.-long waterfront park, public plaza, sundeck and BBQ and dining areas. The building features a fully-equipped fitness center with space for yoga and crossfit, a demonstration kitchen, a children’s playroom, media and game rooms, onsite bike storage, and the MyDomain suite of resident services offered at all Domain properties. Residents also have access to “The Shop,” Domain’s third location offering 14,000 s/f of coworking in addition to several affordable art studios made possible through Arts Gowanus and the Gowanus Mix uses encouraged by the rezoning.

“This new financing package demonstrates the success of 420 Carroll, a state-of-the-art project that delivered hundreds of much-needed homes, new opportunities for retail and beautiful public outdoor space to Gowanus,” said Matt Schwartz, Co-CEO of The Domain Companies. “It also represents a vote of confidence in the project, underscoring the demand we’ve seen during the lease-up of the building. We thank our partners at Silverstein, Cantor Fitzgerald L.P., and AllianceBernstein and we look forward to continuing to grow the vibrant community at 420 Carroll.”
