Greenpoint Landing will have approximately 5,500 total apartments and 11 towers once completed. Two Tetris-like buildings resembling a ziggurat and its inverse are under construction at the development with 745 apartments and a 2.5 acre waterfront park planned.
The the first commercial tenant, Eleva Coffee, opened on the ground-floor of 7 Bell Slip in December and the 24-hour grocery store Riverside Market plans to open in the same building this fall.

All residents will have access to an amenity package that includes concierge service, co-working space, media room, lounge, children’s playroom, and fitness center. One Blue Slip boasts an outdoor terrace with kitchen, Two Blue Slip is home to an outdoor pool, and all amenities were designed to make the most of spectacular river and Manhattan skyline views.
“Affordable”……yeah, right. Nobody gives a damn about the average working person.
Greenpoint Landing — doing what it can to displace any working people from the neighborhood in order to turn Greenpoint into a Professional Managerial Class Shangri La. Glad to see the massive tax rebates trickle down to the plebs in the form of $2370 studio apartments. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so injurious to the families who don’t hail from the tech or finance sector or have a trust fund from daddy with which to pay their rent.
