NEW YORK CITY-A large project that had gone dormant has breathed new life. Plans for a sprawling 22-acre development in Brooklyn, at the northern tip of Greenpoint, were slated to be presented Monday at a public meeting, according to Crain's New York Business.
The plan calls for 5,500 apartments spread across up to two dozen buildings, including 10 luxury towers, the paper reports. The project also includes plans for 174,000 square feet of publicly accessible open space. In addition, the complex will be well protected from storms with a tiered shore public walkway along the length of the development. The design also will include a series of specific activities or amenities along the waterfront, including a natural play area, a publicly accessible lawn, and a reconstructed Green Street Pier.
Planning started over a decade ago, and developer Park Tower Group started working on honing its plan after a rezoning in 2005. But just when the developer was getting ready to build, Crain's reports, the recession hit.
