(DNAINFO)  Leslie Albrecht | May 3, 2016 — 365 Bond St., built on a brownfield along the canal, will be regularly inspected for contamination.

The gleaming 12-story apartment building that opened to renters last month at 365 Bond St. counts a rooftop lounge, 24-hour concierge, spin studio and boat launch among its deluxe amenities.

But you won’t find these waterfront tenants dipping their toes in the water or digging a vegetable garden in the soil. That’s because 365 Bond St. sits along the heavily polluted Gowanus Canal on a brownfield site — land where industrial use left contaminants in the soil.

Industrial pollution is common in Gowanus, but with proximity to brownstone Brooklyn, an expanding restaurant scene and growing interest from tech companies, the neighborhood is among the borough’s hottest real estate markets.
