"Preliminary renderings have been revealed for Monitor Point, a proposed 1,150-unit residential complex with affordable housing, retail space, and a museum, along the southern border of Greenpoint."
Gotham Organization, one of New York City's largest developers, has released preliminary renderings for their latest project, Monitor Point, a three-tower residential complex in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The development, designed by renowned architecture firm FXCollaborative, is set to stand at 600, 450, and 230 feet tall and yield a total of 1,150 rental apartments.
In addition to the residential units, Monitor Point will also include 288 affordable housing units, ground-floor retail space, and a home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum. The property, located at 40-56 Quay Street, is bounded by Quay Street to the north, Franklin Street to the east, and the Bushwick Inlet to the south and west.
The project has faced some pushback from community members and local officials, with concerns over the height and density of the development. However, Gotham Organization has stated that they are committed to working with the community to address these concerns and ensure a successful project.
In a statement, Gotham Organization's Chief Operating Officer, Nicole Benson, said, "We are excited to be a part of the revitalization of this waterfront neighborhood and are committed to delivering a high-quality, mixed-use development that will enhance the surrounding community."
