Located in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighbourhood, the eponymous 40-storey highrise development by Mack Real Estate GroupPalin Enterprises and Urban Development Partners has reached its ultimate height since our last photo update. The Greenpoint, now one of the borough's tallest buildings, is set to have a mix of 95 condominiums and 368 rentals.

The massive development, designed by Ismael Levya Architects, signals a shift in land use for the property, and the wider neighbourhood, which historically lined the water's edge with industrial facilities. With these industries occupying prime pieces of New York real estate, lots are gradually being sold to developers looking to cash in on the views produced by the waterfront location.

The building's five-storey podium will house many of the rentals, while the condominium portion will begin on the 28th floor. In addition to the principal residential component, the project will have 12,000 square feet of open space, and 30,000 square feet of amenities. As cladding snakes its way up the tower, completion is in sight for spring 2018.
