501 Union is a converted 1916 industrial building in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, transformed into a striking event venue in 2013. The space features three distinct areas — a covered atrium with accordion garage doors, an elegant cocktail lounge, and a light-filled reception hall with a vaulted skylight running the length of the gathering space. With Modo chandeliers by Jason Miller, customized Flavor Paper wallpaper, and an industrial chic aesthetic infused with modern glamour, 501 Union offers exclusive use for one event per day.
