Roughly 18 months after breaking ground in November 2019, two residential towers of the OMA-designed Greenpoint Landing development in Brooklyn have structurally topped out at 300 feet (North Tower) and 400 feet (South Tower) respectively. The project was first introduced by the developers.

Situated at the northern part of Brooklyn where Newton Creek and the East River intersect, OMA New York / Jason Long s Greenpoint Landing residential towers have reached their latest phase of development; The North Tower is currently at 300 ft. and the South Tower is at 400 ft. The buildings are expected to provide 745 units of mixed-income housing, and will expand an acre beyond the existing esplanade, creating a new section of public waterfront that overlooks the Manhattan skyline.
The project consists of 745 residential rental apartments divided across 3 buildings, 30% of which will be affordable to various income families. 8,600 sq. ft. of retail space are dispersed along the ground floor, implemented to help activate the new gateways to the Greenpoint waterfront. A bridge linking the two towers together will house the pool and fitness programs, and provide a panoramic view of Manhattan and the waterfront.
A skyscraper and a tower designed by architect Jason Long and architecture firm OMA have topped out in the Greenpoint neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York.
Brookfield Properties and Park Tower Group are developing the project as part of Greenpoint Landing, a waterfront development master-planned by Park Tower Group.

The South Tower has reached its full height of 400 feet (122 metres) and the North Tower topped out at 300 feet (91 metres).
