Monitor Point

Monitor Point will create a livable and walkable atmosphere that will breathe new life into what is now a neglected industrial waterfront, creating a vibrant mixed-use, mixed-income housing development. This exciting project promises to bring numerous benefits to the Greenpoint community, offering an array of opportunities and amenities for all.

Opportunities

Monitor Point will generate significant civic and community benefits with a focus on mixed-income housing, attractive and complementary public open space, sustainable design, energy efficiency, employment opportunity, and economic mobility. Monitor Point will:

Relocate incompatible waterfront industrial use.

Deliver 50,000 sqft of onsite publicly accessible open space and provide long-term revenue support for the Parks Department.

Create the opportunity for the delivery of an additional 25,000 sqft of new public park in North Greenpoint.

Deliver critical and necessary housing with a minimum 25% affordability.

Create vital infrastructure investments in a new MTA facility to support long-term maintenance and emergency services for NYC transit, while also providing the MTA critically needed revenue.

Improve shoreline access and resiliency.

Reduce onsite truck traffic and improve street safety.

Create a cohesive master site plan creating connection to the waterfront and between Greenpoint and Williamsburg.

Support a Strong Future for the Greenpoint Waterfront Community

It is critical that we encourage our community and elected officials to support a public-private partnership that will add a robust new supply of mixed-income housing, create new open space connections in North Brooklyn, reduce vehicular truck traffic in the neighborhood, and unveil a new waterfront home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum. Monitor Point will bring:

  • Substantial housing with at least 25% affordability
  • Publicly accessible waterfront and open space
  • Relocation of industrial uses away from a residential area
  • The opportunity for the full realization of Box Street Park
  • New commercial and retail opportunities for the community
  • New permanent unionized building maintenance positions
  • Sustainability efforts to repair the shoreline
  • A new home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum
