Luxury health and fitness brand Life Time announced plans for a new, expansive athletic country club at 175 Third St. in Gowanus, Brooklyn, part of the four-project campus known as Gowanus Wharf development by Charney Companies and Tavros.
Life Time will encompass more than 85,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space and bring an entirely new experience to the neighborhood with a year-round rooftop beach club for year-round use, including pools for hot and cold use, saunas and a bar. Inside, the club will feature a co-ed wet suite with sauna, steam, red-light and infrared therapies, additional recovery spaces, longevity services, pickleball, coworking lounge space and the brand’s signature mix of health, wellness and lifestyle programming.
“The ongoing transformation of Gowanus, alongside its strong connections to Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, makes it one of Brooklyn’s most promising and well-positioned neighborhoods, and a place where Life Time is proud to invest,” said Parham Javaheri, Life Time executive vice president, president of club operations and chief of property development. “Through 175 Third Street, Life Time will deliver a comprehensive wellness experience that is centered on recovery, longevity and social connection and supports the way residents can choose to live and thrive.”
The planned destination will join more than 11 Life Time destinations in New York City including Atlantic Avenue and DUMBO in Brooklyn and upcoming locations opening at The Brooklyn Tower and in Bryant Park in 2026.
“Life Time’s national reputation for quality and excellence elevates the experience we’re creating at 175 Third St., and we’re proud to welcome them as an iconic anchor,” said Rosie Tilley, head of development for Charney Companies. “Residents will be thrilled to enjoy the exceptional lifestyle experience that only Life Time’s athletic resort can bring – a distinction that sets 175 Third St. apart.”
175 Third Street will be the fifth building in Gowanus Wharf, the jointly developed campus by Charney Companies and Tavros Capital. Once completed, 175 Third St. will be the largest building in Gowanus, with approximately 1.1 million square feet and 1,100 residences. Upon completion of the project, Charney and Tavros will have developed over 2.2 million square feet and over 2,200 residences in Gowanus, making them the submarket’s most active developer.
“Life Time is a welcomed addition to our Gowanus Wharf campus,” added Colin Rankowitz, partner at Tavros Capital. “Health and wellness are top priorities in all our buildings, and we are thrilled to have Life Time glad to have a partner that aligns with our vision.”
Joe Mastromonaco and Colleen Morrissey of Atlantic Retail represented Life Time in this transaction.
