Depending what you are looking for. For me, it is great to see so many construction sites going all at once, a whole neighborhood being created in real time. If you are looking to stroll around, it is not there yet. The parks are not connected, that will take more than a year (or two) to materialize

Yeah I made the trip out there last fall so I can experience the massive construction myself and have a sort of benchmark in my mind for future trips. You won’t fully appreciate the future transformation if you don’t experience how it was before or during the change.

I’d say definitely not, unless, as @streetscaper mentioned, you’re familiar with how the area was previously. In that case, it could be interesting too see. (It’s why I took a walk through last year after I met up with a friend In Carroll Gardens.) Otherwise, it’s just a lot of active construction sites and undistinguished architecture. Many other places more worth your time.

Do you guys think that whole foods is going to get redeveloped? They messed up building that massive surface lot, but they didn’t know property values were going to skyrocket in the area

You should have made the trip last weekend! Powerhouse Arts was having an open house and that alone would have been worth the trip. IMO, I would wait for the fall when the [Gowanus Open Studio Tours](Gowanus Open Studios — Arts Gowanus kick off.
Although it may become more dense, the neighborhood has already transformed beyond all recognition.
