Along the Greenpoint / Williamsburg Waterfront

Artwork by: Cheryl Molnar
Curated by: IMG

In May 2005, the New York CityCouncil approved the Department of City Planning’s rezoning proposal for the waterfront neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg in Brooklyn, permitting light industrial and residential buildings to coexist. While these were always mixed-use neighborhoods, the proposal paved the way for additional housing and public space development along two miles of Brooklyn’s East River water front and upland neighborhoods. Height restrictions were significantly relaxed.
