Global Holdings, the international real estate development and investment firm founded and led by Eyal Ofer, in partnership with MacArthur Holdings and Tankhouse, will celebrate the topping out of the luxury mixed-use residential tower Anagram Gowanus at 450 Union Street in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn. Anagram Gowanus is anticipated to be completed in Q2 2027.

“We’re proud to reach this significant construction milestone at Anagram Gowanus, which demonstrates the momentum behind the Anagram brand’s growth as we continue to deliver unique, curated living experiences for the city’s most discerning renters,” said Josh Feder, senior vice president, head of investments, Global Holdings. “This development extends our ambition to scale the unparalleled Anagram lifestyle in high-growth neighborhoods. As the project continues to take shape, we look forward to introducing to the market a best-in-class asset that will unveil a whole new lifestyle and experience to the neighborhood.”

Anagram Gowanus is a 20-story, 158-unit mixed-use tower with 22,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Designed by SO–IL, with Magnusson Architecture & Planning serving as architect of record, Anagram Gowanus will offer studio to three-bedroom residences and feature amenities curated around community and well-being including fitness and coworking spaces, a children’s playroom and rooftop terraces.

“As with all our work across Brooklyn, Anagram Gowanus has been shaped through a deep commitment to design, collaboration, and care,” said Sebastian Mendez, co-founder, Tankhouse. “Located in the creative heartbeat of Brooklyn, Anagram Gowanus’ topping out is a meaningful moment as we move closer to delivering a residential offering that thoughtfully fosters connectivity to its neighborhood and reflects our belief that strong design leads to vibrant, thriving communities.”

Private outdoor space lines the majority of units with 25% having an outdoor terrace, and nearly every unit offering a Juliette balcony. All residences will offer dual-corner exposure, providing views across Manhattan, Brooklyn and New York Harbor. The project will also include a 5,700-square-foot waterfront esplanade that expands public access along the Gowanus Canal and supports the city’s waterfront activation goals.

“Today’s topping out of Anagram Gowanus is a testament to the strength of our partnership and our long-term vision that carried this project through,” said Howard Katz, principal, MacArthur Holdings. “With decades of experience in building and operating across New York City, we see enduring potential in Gowanus and are proud to contribute to Brooklyn’s continued evolution.”

KSK Construction Group served as the general contractor, with Raptor Concrete engaged as the project’s foundation and superstructure subcontractor.
