Vogue recently described Greenpoint as “the new home design capital of Brooklyn,” and a visit to four newly unveiled model units in its first skyscraper, The Greenpoint, demonstrates why. The apartments were designed by national firm Home Studios, but everything from the major furnishings to accent accessories to the bottles on the sideboard was sourced from local vendors like Home of the Brave, Slash Objects, Duke's Liquor Box, and Homecoming. Those who feel so inspired to replicate the looks need walk only a few blocks to the stores.

Like all units in The Greenpoint, the model units have open floor plans, wide-plank oak floors, in-unit Bosch washer/dryers, and oversized windows with spectacular waterfront and Manhattan skyline views. Kitchens come outfitted with oak cabinetry, white Caesarstone counters, and Maytag appliances. Baths have white herringbone tile and black accent trim, oak vanities with Caesarstone counters, and recessed medicine cabinets.
Select apartments have private balconies, and all residents have access to over 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. These include a port cochere, 24-hour attended lobby and lounge, fitness center with yoga studio and basketball court, co-working lounge, gardens with dining and lounge areas, and sun deck with roof lawn and fire pit. Popular local restaurants and nightlife are a short walk from the building, and the Greenpoint ferry stop is at the end of the block.
At the beginning of last year, an affordable lottery for New Yorkers earning 40 and 60 percent of the area median income took place with listings from $613/month. Current market-rate listings start at $2,820/month for studios, $2,931/month for one-bedrooms, $4,304/month for two-bedrooms, and $7,985/month for three-bedrooms. At an average price of $63 per square foot, this puts The Greenpoint well above the neighborhood median of $45 per square foot (per CityRealty listings).
