The first two towers to be built are set to rise on the northernmost section of the 22-acre site, according to a Park Tower spokesperson. An adjacent parking lot for MTA vehicles at 65 Commercial Street is set to be turned into an athletic field.
Handel Architects' plans call for much more than just ten towers rising 30 to 40 stories high. Plans also include a futuristic pedestrian bridge over Newtown Creek, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, to connect Greenpoint and the Queens West development in Long Island City.
The developer has confirmed that the site will feature a marina as well as the largest East River pier as the centerpiece of the waterfront experience.
Unique outdoor space will include a seasonal putting green / ice rink, and a large amenity deck overlooking with swimming pool, hot tub and barbecue area. Indoor parking will be accessible to all residents, and restaurants and other retail establishments will be incorporated throughout the entire project.
