Greenpoint Landing's teetering towers by OMA break ground; See new renderings and photos of 745-unit complex





Quote:
A cascade of master plans are reimagining the Brooklyn waterfront into a more cohesive live-work-play enclave. Largest of all is the Greenpoint Landing plan, a 10-tower development being developed through a joint venture between Brookfield Properties and Park Tower Development. The team is already looking to the future now that the plan's first tower, One Blue Slip, is almost fully-leased and the next tower, last year and poised to launch Two Blue Slip will launch leasing in January 2020.

The next phase of the 22-acre master plan officially broke ground yesterday and involves the construction of 745 units of housing, of which 30 percent will be targeted through the affordable New York program. In May, the first renderings were unveiled for the phase's pair of teetering towers flanked by low-rises designed by the Rem Koolhaas-founded OMA. New images illustrate how the buildings will look from street level.

Adjacent to the buildings will be one acre of public open space designed by James Corner Field Operations, the landscape designers behind the High Line. The new parkland will expand the existing waterfront esplanade and unlock this once industrial and forlorn section of the Greenpoint shoreline. According to the press release, this phase will expand the existing public esplanade to a total of 2.5 acres. It will focus on natural landscaping and expansive green spaces. Waterfront experiences will include a picnic area, a garden walk, a public lawn, and salvaged maritime pieces. Once complete, Brookfield Properties and Park Tower Development will cede ownership of the land and it will be donated back to the city to function as a public park in perpetuity.

The new towers will be distinguished by precast construction panels, 8’ x 8’ windows, and tapered forms which create natural terraces. While not as sculptural as the twisting towers of The XI in Manhattan, the forms of the buildings do create a unique relationship to each other and make the most of dramatic skyline and East River views.

Permits Filed For 33 Commercial Street In Greenpoint, Brooklyn


Quote:
Permits have been filed for a 22-story mixed-use building at 33 Commercial Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Located between 7 Bell Slip and the future Box Street Park as part of the Greenpoint Landing complex, the interior lot is closest to the Greenpoint Avenue subway station, serviced by the G train. Guy Morton, vice president of construction at Park Tower Group, is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 213-foot-tall development will yield 344,463 square feet, with 311,471 square feet designated for residential space and 7,123 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 374 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 832 square feet. The concrete-based structure will have commercial space on the ground floor.

Handel Architects is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

^ The question was about 1 Bell Slip, I believe. And I can't find a render of it either. Also, the climbing forms for the tower are now in place.

Yeah in the above photo from Field Condition, the ODA-designed complex, whose rendering is also above, would be off to the right of the Blue Slip towers.

Waterview at Greenpoint | 40 FL, 30 FL, 7 FL U/C

I was taking a stroll along the Greenpoint Landing Waterfront and noticed construction and new fencing up at 77 Commercial Street. At first, it seemed like another part of the Greenpoint Landing Development. After some digging, though, I learned that this is a separate but similar development called Waterview at Greenpoint.

The development plans date back all the way to 2013. The site has sat relatively empty for at least the last year. No more. The project, consisting of a 40-floor tower, a 30-floor tower, and a 7-story podium, is under construction. This is just to the east of Greenpoint Landing and along the Newtown Creek inlet across from Hunter's Point.

The project secured financing last spring, according to this article:

Quote:
SL Green Realty has agreed to lend $400 million for a luxury apartment project planned in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn.

The REIT will initially originate a $70 million land loan on the waterfront site, along Commercial Street near Manhattan Avenue. Clipper Equity will use the proceeds to help buy out its partner, Chetrit Group. The remaining $330 million will fund the construction of a three-building complex with almost 800 apartments.

New York-based SL Green is expected to retain a junior portion of the debt package and syndicate the rest, most likely to banks and insurers.

Clipper, which is led by David Bistricer, tapped Iron Hound Management to line up the debt. An Iron Hound executive declined to comment.

A 95,000-square-foot warehouse is currently on the site, which Clipper and Chetrit, both of New York, acquired in 2012 for $25 million. The project, at 77, 85 and 87 Commercial Street, will include a 300-space underground garage. One-fifth of the units will be set aside as affordable housing.

The property, dubbed Waterview at Greenpoint, faces Newtown Creek. Nearby is Greenpoint Landing, a residential development by Brookfield Properties and Park Tower Group of New York that ultimately will encompass 5,500 units.

One Bell Slip Starts To Rise In North Brooklyn’s Greenpoint Landing





Quote:
Construction has risen past the podium section at One Bell Slip, a 368-foot-tall residential tower in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Brookfield Property Partners and Park Tower Group, the 31-story building will bring 413 units to the 22-acre, ten-tower Greenpoint Landing riverfront development. The structure is rising just to the north of the completed 37 Blue Slip.

Recent photos from Hunters Point South show the reinforced concrete superstructure reaching the ninth floor. The yellow safety cocoon was recently installed around the perimeter of the floor plates, and the construction crane stands perched atop the two-story podium. The structure should continue to ascend steadily throughout the rest of the summer, followed by the installation of the curtain wall, which is depicted to resemble those of 37 and 41 Blue Slip.

One Bell Slip will span 379,803 square feet, of which 292,029 square feet will be dedicated for residential space and 992 for commercial use. Overall, the entire Greenpoint Landing development will eventually yield 5,500 residential units, with 1,400 designated for permanent affordable housing, as well as a park by James Corner Field Operations and a K-8 public school. The closest subway is the G train, located a half mile away at Greenpoint Avenue.
