When The Shop BK opens at 420 Carroll, our members will be stepping into more than just a beautifully designed coworking space—they’ll be part of a vibrant, thoughtfully curated community. The development by Domain Companies is transforming this 420 Carroll, Gowanus into a dynamic mixed-use hub, blending workspace, residential living, and an exciting retail marketplace. For our members, that means incredible businesses just steps away, offering everything from artisanal coffee to hands-on creative experiences.
Gowanus Marketplace: A New Retail Destination
420 Carroll is set to be home to the Gowanus Marketplace, a high-end grocery store that reflects the neighborhood’s creativity and commitment to quality. This marketplace will provide a carefully curated selection of fresh produce, gourmet goods, and specialty items, making it a go-to destination for residents and professionals alike.
For Shop BK members, having a premium grocery store just downstairs means easy access to high-quality snacks, quick lunch options, and even last-minute dinner essentials. Whether you need a freshly made sandwich between meetings or want to grab ingredients for a home-cooked meal on your way out, Gowanus Marketplace will offer the kind of convenience that enhances work-life balance.
Hey Clay: Hands-On Creativity Next Door
One of the standout additions to the retail mix is Hey Clay, a ceramics studio designed for both beginners and experienced artists. Founded by ceramicist Eva Heyman, the space will offer workshops, open studio hours, and retail sales of handmade pottery. For Shop BK members looking for a creative outlet after a long workday, Hey Clay will provide the perfect way to unwind and explore a hands-on craft. Whether you’re interested in taking a structured class or simply dropping in for a self-guided session, this studio will be an inviting space to get your hands dirty and your creativity flowing.
Coffee, Dining, and More: A Culinary Hub
Alongside Hey Clay and Gowanus Marketplace, the retail offerings at 420 Carroll will feature a carefully selected mix of food and beverage options that cater to both residents and professionals in the building. While the full lineup of vendors has yet to be announced, early reports suggest that the offerings will include a specialty coffee shop, an artisan bakery, and casual dining options—ideal for grabbing a morning espresso, hosting a lunch meeting, or winding down with colleagues after work.
For Shop BK members, having high-quality food and drink options just outside their workspace isn’t just a convenience—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. No need to venture far for a midday pick-me-up or a last-minute client meeting spot. Everything you need will be just a short walk from your desk.
The Domain Approach: A Thoughtfully Curated Space
The Gowanus Marketplace and other retail partners aren’t just a collection of storefronts; they’re an extension of Domain Companies’ vision for 420 Carroll. Domain has a track record of developing spaces that foster both community and commerce, ensuring that retail partners align with the neighborhood’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit.
For members of The Shop BK, this means working in a space that’s deeply connected to its surroundings. The retail partners selected for 420 Carroll reflect the same values that The Shop embodies—collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to quality. This thoughtful curation ensures that The Shop BK will feel integrated into the larger community, rather than operating as an isolated workspace.
Why It Matters for The Shop BK Members
One of the best aspects of coworking is the sense of connection it fosters—not just within the space itself, but with the surrounding neighborhood. At The Shop BK, members will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse mix of businesses that complement their work and lifestyle.
Whether it’s stepping next door for a coffee meeting, picking up a fresh pastry on the way in, grabbing gourmet groceries on the way home, or unwinding with an evening ceramics class, the retail partners at 420 Carroll will add richness and convenience to the coworking experience. And for those who thrive on networking and community-building, having a curated retail mix at their doorstep opens the door to new collaborations and creative inspirations.
