First news I've seen on this in a while. Didn't realize a tower of 600ft was on the table. Think that could be the tallest tower on the Brooklyn/ Queens waterfront (just above Domino and HPS buildings)

An upcoming CB1 land use meeting on April 1 will feature a presentation on two potential new high-rise buildings sitting directly on the Bushwick Inlet. Local environmental advocates say these massive buildings would disturb local wildlife, hinder the inlet’s ability to help prevent future flooding, and fail to address the neighborhood’s dire lack of affordable housing. The buildings would sit on a parcel of land owned by the MTA, known as 40 Quay.
“MTA’s developer Gotham Org is seeking a zoning enhancement to build two huge luxury towers – 60 stories (30% taller than any on the Northside & Greenpoint) and 45 stories tall – on the shore of Bushwick Inlet and looming over the park,” says Save the Inlet, a local group opposing the new buildings.
