The Downtown Brooklyn Zone is roughly bounded by East River to the west, 5th Avenue/Fort Greene Park to the east, East River to the north and Gowanus/3rd Street to the south. The building types in this area include everything from industrial warehouses around the Gowanus Canal and in Red Hook to brownstones in Landmark Historic Districts. Map <pdf>
