I believe this is related to Calyer Place. Same developer.
30 Porte is not the same project as the thread title right? 40 Quay is the land that the MTA building currently stands on, has not been demolished yet I dont think. 30 Porte is on the Cayler lots across the street.

Locals Split Over Mixed-Use Development Proposed for MTA Greenpoint Waterfront Site
Dubbed Monitor Point, the development would include 1,150 apartments, retail, a physical space for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum, and publicly-accessible outdoor space. The “west building,” closest to the inlet, would comprise two glass towers rising 600 and 450 feet tall, respectively; the “east building” at 56 Quay would stand 230 feet tall.
The Monitor Point ULURP application is expected to be certified before the end of the year, and the official ULURP process could begin as soon as this fall. That would bring more meetings with the community board, the borough president, and the CPC before the proposal was voted on by the City Council.
If the project is approved, Kelly said, Gotham would start constructing the new MTA facility in Williamsburg in 2026, and could start work on Monitor Point in 2028.

Environmentalists against transit-oriented infill development. The absolute worst.

It’s the city’s fault alone the park hasn’t gotten done yet. This development hopefully is the push it needs.

the only real nearby transit is the ferry lol
The G Train serves this area. Looks like a 5-10 minute walk to the Nassau Ave Station.
I’ve beat this drum before but we need a pedestrian bridge connecting West Street in Brooklyn with 2nd Street in LIC.

They had that big boondoggle bridge in that spot a while ago, though I guess they never had actual funding for it. Would probably take an Olympics to get something like that built
