BROOKLYN, NY-Building on the momentum it gained in May, Greenpoint Landing received a big, and important, nod of approval Wednesday morning. The project—which had been dormant for several years before its plans were presented at a public meeting this spring—was unanimously approved by the City Planning Commission.

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.
