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).
