The City Planning Commission, the agency tasked with evaluating land use proposals, approved the controversial Monitor Point project on May 13.
The project will entail two new residential towers, a new home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum, and additional open space on the inlet. The 600-foot-tall complex would contain 1,150 apartments, 40% of which will be permanently affordable.
Now the New York City Council has 50 days to consider and vote on the proposal. Unlike the previous advisory votes, the City Council has the decisive vote, barring a mayoral veto (which is unlikely).

The City Council voted Thursday afternoon to approve the controversial Monitor Point development on the Greenpoint waterfront, clearing yet another hurdle for the massive 1,324-unit project.
In order to start work on Monitor Point, Gotham Organization needs to demolish and relocate the agency’s Quay Street facility. This factor pushes back the project’s construction start date. It will likely be completed closer to 2031.

Great news, but something is broken when it takes 5 years just to get to a council vote.

Gotham Organization (Gotham), the selected developer, will construct a new facility for the Mobile Wash Division on a separate property at 213 Meadow Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and will house essential NYCT functions, including an emergency response unit. Following completion of this facility, Gotham will demolish the existing NYC Transit building at 40 Quay Street and construct the new 840,000 square-foot mixed-use project – Monitor Point. Construction on 213 Meadow Street is expected to commence in the summer of 2027.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board today authorized a transaction to redevelop the MTA-owned property at 40 Quay St in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, clearing the way for the Monitor Point development project. Monitor Point is a planned mixed-use development that will generate lease revenue to fund transit projects across the system and deliver approximately 1,324 new rental homes, 50 percent of which will be permanently affordable, more than 52,500 square feet of publicly accessible waterfront space, new retail and community space, climate resiliency improvements, and a permanent home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum.
