Checking In On the Gowanus Whole Foods

We brought you pictures of the Gowanus Whole Foods project back in March, after foundation beams were placed and the 52,000 square-foot skeleton was taking shape. Nearly three months later, support beams are in place and the exterior shell is being put up. Construction is moving quickly, but the Gowanus Whole Foods is still a ways from opening. A worker said the goal is to open in January.
