Stick this tower in LIC or Manhattan and you'd think its short. Yet alone, the outerborough (some sections) can still make a 400 ft tower seem tall. This will not be alone for too long. The waterfront in Greenpoint is ripe for development.

Facade installation is well underway at the waterfront neighborhood’s tallest building

Greenpoint’s tallest building is hurtling towards the finish line. The 40-story waterfront tower topped out in February, and its glass facade is already largely in place along its East River-fronting side. (There are great views of the building from the ferry, which also stops right out front as a new rendering, below, eagerly points out.)

The waterfront rental and condo tower is poised to launch sales this summer, with prices for its 95 condos starting around $1.1 million for one-bedrooms, $1.575 million for two-bedrooms, and $2.2 million for three-bedrooms. The building will also have studio condos, but approximate pricing for those apartments has yet to be announced. Starting rents for the building’s 368 rentals also remain under wraps, but assume they’ll be on par with other fancy new development.

The building, officially known as The Greenpoint, is being developed by Mack Real Estate Group and Palin Enterprises, in conjunction with Urban Development Partners, and is designed by none other than ubiquitous architect Ismael Leyva.

Greenpoint's tallest tower reveals swanky basketball court, sun deck in new renders

The sales team behind Greenpoint’s tallest tower, The Greenpoint, is drumming up awareness about the project as the condo (and rental) building gets ready to launch sales, and with that they’ve released two new renderings on their social media platforms.

Both the rendering reveals are of the amenity spaces in this 40-story waterfront tower. One is of the condo’s sun deck, and the other is of the basketball court, which the developers are calling the Huron Basketball Court.

Construction has been progressing steadily on this residential building over the past few months. The building had reached the halfway point when we checked in with the development last November. In February, the building topped out at nearly 400 feet. By last month, the building had been fitted with a large portion of its glass facade.

In all this project, which is being developed by Mack Real Estate Group and Palin Enterprises with Urban Development Partners, will bring 95 condos and 368 rentals to the neighborhood. The condos will be a mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedrooms with prices expected to start at $1.1 million. Details on the rentals haven’t been revealed yet.

The Greenpoint Nears Completion At 21 India Street, Greenpoint

Among the new towers rising along the Brooklyn waterfront, The Greenpoint, which has already topped out, is among the tallest in its eponymous neighborhood. Cladding has reached the top of the 40-story residential building, interior work is currently underway, and today, YIMBY has a look at the views from within.

Mack Real Estate Group and Palin Enterprises are the developers behind the 39-story tower, which stands 392 feet to its roof, and has 500 residential units within. Those are mixed between condominiums and rentals, and will span 454,502 square feet, with a design by Ismael Leyva Architects.

From ground level, cars pull in from India Street and go under the elevated porte-cochere lobby space that offers a 24-hour doorman and a concierge. Playground and green spaces also occupy the front of the building, along with easy access to the India Street/Greenpoint terminal and the waterfront. The G train is a seven minute walk to the west along the intersection of Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenues, a location that is quickly filling with new coffee shops, markets, boutiques, and restaurants.

A public waterfront park is finally taking shape at Greenpoint’s first skyscraper

The Greenpoint, a 40-story waterfront rental and condo tower and the neighborhood’s tallest building, topped out in February, launched sales in July and now, is a few months away from getting a public 275-foot long promenade at its waterfront site. After nearly a decade of delays, the Brooklyn walkway, the first of its kind to be privately built in Greenpoint, will open in the spring. According to the Wall Street Journal, the park will total 29,500 square feet, including a 4,000-square-foot playground with lots of trees and colorful oval panels above.

Developers, Mack Real Estate Group and Palin Enterprises, are funding the promenade’s construction because of a requirement in the city’s 2005 rezoning of Greenpoint and Williamsburg. It allows tall residential towers to rise in the former sleepy industrial waterfront neighborhoods if the developers make open space and public parks part of their plan.

Spanning an entire block between India and Huron Streets, the Greenpoint complex was designed by Ismael Leyva Architects. Its lower 27 floors will include 287 rentals with 95 units above, featuring studios to three-bedroom apartments. Condos boast oversized windows and soaring ceilings, with most including private balconies or terraces. During the July sales launch, condo prices started at $989,000 for one-bedrooms, $1.52 million for two-bedrooms and $2.16 million for three-bedrooms.

Amenities at the Greenpoint include a sun deck, basketball court, club room, co-working spots, fitness center and a furnished courtyard garden. Two restaurants will sit on the second floor, including one by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson. Residents can enjoy the Midtown Manhattan skyline and accessibility a ferry stop, which sits adjacent to the building.

The Greenpoint At 21 India Street Awaiting Imminent Completion In Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Located at 21 India Street, The Greenpoint sits right off the India Street ferry terminal along the East River. Isolated from the cluster of new towers rising on the waterfront by the Williamsburg Bridge and Greenpoint Landing to the north, it is the tallest skyscraper in the neighborhood. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Mack Real Estate Group, the 39-story residential development is almost complete and will have 500 units composed of condominiums and rentals. The entire 392-foot tall project is set to span 454,502 square feet.

[...]

The Greenpoint was expected to be finished last year but has been unknowingly delayed for some time. A completion date in the latter half of 2019 may still be possible. The large sales gallery for The Greenpoint is located just around the corner at 114 Franklin Street, just a short walk from the construction site.
