NEW YORK CITY—Kushner Companies and LIVWRK are in contract to buy a block-long development site in Gowanus for $70 million to $80 million, according to the Real Deal.

The site, located at 175-225 Third St., allows for a commercial mixed-use project of up to 300,000 square feet but could eventually be rezoned for a residential mixed-use project of more than a million square feet, a source familiar with the off-market deal tells the Real Deal.

The three-acre development site offers about 600 feet of frontage and will allow for about 150,000 square feet of retail, the source reveals. The property is located across the street from the recently opened Whole Foods Market and is close to the Lightstone Group's 700-unit rental development at 363 Bond St..
