Actually I like some of those generic looking buildings on the first page. But we only need 1 or 2 but not 5 similar looking buildings.

Also I'm hoping for something like the Fordham towers on the Upper West Side to get built here.

Narf, I have had my doubts. I googled for the east river park and couldnt find these buildings. Soonest this thread with the soccerfield. but of course it's the un-building at the right of the pic? so it had to be more in the north. damn^^

Nevertheless I know the right name for these buildings now

Excavation Starts at Greenpoint Landing



Quote:
Work is moving forward on a few sites at the massive Greenpoint Landing development at the northern tip of Greenpoint. Excavation is underway at 21 Commercial Street, above. The 82,476 square foot building will have 93 units and 2,577 square feet of commercial space when its complete.

Last week the Daily News took a look at the design of the 22 acre waterfront park that will be an integral part of the development. Rather than building high sea walls to protect the development against future storms like Hurricane Sandy and rising sea levels, the designers are taking a softer approach. They are using sloping terraces and areas planted with salt-tolerant plants. “When people think of resiliency measures, they think they have to look tough and ugly, but there are actually innovative ways to do the same things while still looking soft and beautiful,” Lisa Switkin, one of the landscape architects on the project with James Corner Field Operations, told the News.

Across the street and a bit further south, on Dupont Street, the city’s Department of Environmental Protection has torn down the sludge tank that had been on the site, as reported, and was busy conducting remediation, removing soil, to prepare the site for its transformation to parkland. At 33 Eagle street a block over, the site of another future mixed-income building, construction has yet to begin.

Foundation Goes in at Greenpoint Landing



Quote:
Foundation work is under way at 21 Commercial Street in Greenpoint, where Park Tower Group and L&M Development are building part of the massive Greenpoint Landing project. As previously reported, this is the former industrial property at the corner of Franklin, Commercial and Clay streets where six stories of affordable housing with 93 apartments and ground-floor commercial space will rise.

The developers have also filed plans for a second affordable building at 33 Eagle Street, which will have seven stories and 98 units. Handel Architects is designing both, and you can see the firm’s previously published rendering after the jump.

When the entire Greenpoint Landing development is finished, there will be 10 towers, 5,500 apartments, a new park and a K through 8 school on the East River waterfront.

Goods news. Hopefully they can begin cleaning that polluted river nearby for the safety of the new residents and visitors. NYC could probably fund it itself, not sure why it has to wait for the gov. to step in.

There are signs of construction progress at the first site in the Greenpoint Landing mega project, 21 Commercial Street. The low rise structure will house 93 affordable units in a brick and metal clad, 6-story building fronting Commercial Street at the intersection of Franklin Street. Steel for the ground floor is now rising above the construction fence clad in artwork by local artist Greg Lamarche.

Eventually, the waterfront mega project will include 10 towers and about 5,000 units, over 400 of which will be permanently affordable. Also included in the development will be a waterfront park from James Corner Field Operations and a K-8 public school on the corner of Franklin and Dupont Street.

Wow, don't let any NIMBY's see this rendering! This is awesome density for the Riverfront in Brooklyn's Greenpoint.

Greenpoint Landing Towers at 37 and 41 Blue Slip





Quote:
37 Blue Slip will stand 30 stories tall and hold 372 units, while 41 Blue Slip will stand 39 floors with 401 apartments. Both towers will look fairly similar, though 37 Blue Slip will have an angular roof.

The towers appear to be a close match to some of the already-revealed low-rise buildings, including 21 Commercial Street. Besides the greater plan for Greenpoint Landing, plans are also underway for two CetraRuddy-designed towers at 77 Commercial Street just around the corner, and this slice of the waterfront is about to begin bustling with construction activity.

I've been thinking, the way the towers are progressing and will all along the Brooklyn/Queens waterfront, an area from Downtown Brooklyn all the way to Long Island City, it will be an impressive view of new towers. What it lacks in scale and density (as compared to Manhattan) won't be a problem.

Some info on the surrounding waterfront and potential:

CIT Refinances Greenpoint Waterfront Property to Allow for New Development




Quote:
CIT Real Estate Finance provided $57.5 million in financing to a partnership between the Brooklyn-based real estate firm RedSky Capital, the London-listed private equity fund JZ Capital Partners, and other investors to refinance a property along the Brooklyn waterfront in Greenpoint. The deal allows for a residential development with a retail component when leases expire within the next two years.

The senior secured land loan was originated by New York-based CIT Bank, according to a press release from the lender. The debt, which carries a term of two years with a one-year extension option, serves as a bridge loan until construction financing can be put in place.

The industrial site at 18 India Street contains 112,226 square feet of land, 19,820 square feet of pier space, and a 103,000-square-foot industrial building leased to HBO and CBS.

The JV partners plan to develop a 40-story residential tower at the site once the HBO and CBS leases expire in August 2015 and March 2016, respectively.

Plans for the project include both market-rate and affordable apartment units and 100,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The site has been zoned to allow for the development of 652,049 square feet of residential and retail space in total.

“This site offers the opportunity to develop a new landmark residential and commercial building in one of the most up-and-coming areas of Brooklyn and all of New York City,” RedSky Principal Benjamin Bernstein said in the release. “With forever-unobstructed views of Manhattan, an East River ferry stop and a short walk to the subway, this site’s future development promises to create very desirable residential and commercial opportunities in a thriving area of Brooklyn.”

JLL‘s Aaron Appel and Jonathan Schwartz brokered the deal, they confirmed.

The deal marks RedSky’s 30th real estate transaction with JZ Capital Partners in the past three years.

“Brooklyn continues to be among the most in-demand locations for young professionals, and waterfront properties have additional prestige above and beyond that of typical new construction,” Meggan Walsh, deputy group head and managing director of CIT Real Estate Finance, said in the release

Towers are making their way up beyond LIC to Astoria as well. A couple mid-rises (10 or so floors) are already topped out along Vernon Blvd near the Costco, with more to come once Halletts Point and Astoria Cove get going.

Plan for Tower in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint Waterfront Inches Forward

EMILY NONKO
Updated May 11, 2015

Quote:
A partnership hoping to develop one of the first apartment projects on the Greenpoint waterfront in Brooklyn has taken a step closer to its goal by refinancing its debt with a $57.5 million loan from CIT Real Estate Finance.

The partnership, led by RedSky Capital LLC and JZ Capital Partners, used the proceeds of the loan to pay off debt it took on to purchase the 112,000 square feet of waterfront land at 18 India St.

RedSky and JZ Capital Partners formed a joint venture with the owner of the property in 2013, according to Matt Galligan, president of CIT Real Estate Finance.

The refinancing deal is the latest sign that the development boom on the Williamsburg waterfront is moving north. Construction is under way on another project, called Greenpoint Landing, which is set to include 10 buildings and a park.

The RedSky venture still needs construction financing to break ground. CIT hasn’t made any commitment to do that. But CIT executives said they are looking forward to continuing a relationship with the developer.

“We see Greenpoint as a natural extension of Williamsburg,” said Mr. Galligan.

Still, some aren’t so sure about the viability of new development because of transportation limitations. The only subway that serves the neighborhood is the G Train, which doesn’t go into Manhattan.

Mr. Galligan said the India Street parcel includes about 20,000 square feet of the India Street Pier, which RedSky built in anticipation of future development. It is currently being used as a terminal for the East River Ferry service, and people working on developing the area predict that Greenpoint will be increasingly served by water transportation.

Benjamin Bernstein, principal at RedSky, declined to comment. The Brooklyn-based development company already has an existing Williamsburg portfolio. In 2012, RedSky and Waterbridge Capital paid $66 million for a group of properties along the main drag of Bedford Avenue and has plans to develop retail and residential space.

RedSky’s joint venture plans to develop a 40-story residential tower on the Greenpoint waterfront when leases for the existing industrial buildings expire in the next two years, according to Mr. Galligan. Plans include market-rate and affordable rentals, as well as 100,000 square feet of retail space.

CIT, which is increasing its real estate lending activity, has been financing other projects in the outer boroughs, including a $44.8 million construction loan for a 114-unit rental building in Astoria, Queens. The firm is headed by John Thain, who formerly led Merrill Lynch and the New York Stock Exchange.

“With Manhattan land prices, it’s becoming harder to quantify rents, and have the rents make sense,” said Mr. Galligan. “The investment in Greenpoint seemed natural.”

Construction Update: 33 Eagle Street And 21 Commercial Street, Greenpoint Landing


21 Commercial Street, rendering by Handel Architects

REBECCA BAIRD-REMBA
MAY 26, 2015

Quote:
Last summer, Greenpointers said goodbye to a sludge tank at Eagle and West Streets, and now part of the affordable housing for Greenpoint Landing is rising in its place at 33 Eagle Street and 21 Commercial Street.


Construction rendering for 33 Eagle Street

Foundation work has finally begun at 33 Eagle, which will top out at seven stories with 98 apartments. All told, the building will include 86,736 square feet of residential space and 1,514 square feet of ground floor commercial. The first floor will have eight units, topped by 15 units each on floors two through seven.



A block north at 21 Commercial Street, walls are going up for a six-story, 93-unit building. It’ll have 2,557 square feet of ground commercial space and 82,476 square feet of residential, for an average apartment of 886 square feet. There will be eight units on the first floor, followed by 17 units a piece on the second through sixth floors.



Handel Architects will design the two buildings, and they’ll both reach 70 feet into the air. Construction signage indicates that they’re both expected to wrap up construction by summer of 2016.

Park Tower Group and L+M Development are developing the 20-acre megaproject, which will eventually encompass 5,000 apartments (including 1,400 affordable ones), a K through 8 public school, and four acres of park land. In March, YIMBY revealed schematics for 37 and 41 Blue Slip, set to rise 30 and 39 stories respectively. Construction hasn’t yet begun on these two towers, and it’s not clear where they’ll be located within the larger Greenpoint Landing development.

Meanwhile, down the block at 77 Commercial Street, the DOB has approved demolition permits for an existing two-story warehouse, as well as new building permits for three structures designed by Cetra Ruddy. Filings call for roughly 722 apartments—28 percent of which will be affordable—spread across the three buildings, which will be 30, 40 and seven stories respectively.

Three Affordable Buildings Now Rising At Greenpoint Landing









Quote:
The newest megaproject on the Brooklyn waterfront broke ground on its third building this morning, and the developers announced that they will be taking less money from the city than originally planned. Greenpoint Landing will have a total of 10 buildings and 5,500 new apartments, 1,400 of which will be affordable. Originally, the developers, L+M Development and Park Tower Group, would have received $136,000 for each affordable apartment, but the de Blasio administration renegotiated the terms, and they'll now get $68,000 per unit, according to Crain's. Construction began on 5 Blue Slip today, a 103-unit, six-story "deeply affordable" building that will be available to families who earn 30 to 60 percent of the area median income. The first building, 21 Commercial Street, has topped out, while the second, 33 Eagle Street, is starting to rise.
