Greenpoint Giant! Park Tower Group Building Two of First Ten Rental Towers By Next Year

It was about this time last year that The Observer had first heard that Greenpoint Landing, the just gigantic 10-building development at the mouth of Newtown Creek, was about to come back to life after having been forgotten following the building boom and subsequent collapse in North Brooklyn. “The project has been there a long time, but now the market is finally there,” one of the people involved in the project said at the time. It was predicted buildings would begin rising this year.
But here we are in October with nothing to show for it. Well, nothing but a blog post from Greenpointers hearing that work may just be beginning. The evidence? A message from the local councilman’s office and the apparent departure of the boardwalk from Boardwalk Empire that has been on one of the lots since the show debuted. But it’s true. While a year later than promised, The Observer has confirmed that the project is again underway.
“Park Tower Group intends to start with two rental towers, including affordable housing, towards the end of 2013,” Alfred Bradshaw, executive vice president of the firm, said in a statement. “Details of the plans have not been finalized.”
