​​Every New Development Coming To Greenpoint, Brooklyn in 2023

Greenpoint: Where Immigrant Roots and Cutting Edge Culture Meet

Brooklyn is full of cool neighborhoods with plenty of style to spare. Trendy zip codes are plentiful, and you can find luxury living and artistic abodes alike throughout the borough. However, Greenpoint, a neighborhood north of Williamsburg near Queen’s Long Island City, has a distinct flavor all its own.

Greenpoint’s Industrial History

Traditionally Polish, Greenpoint is sometimes called “Little Poland.” There are still many shops with signs written in Polish, and Polish restaurants, bars, businesses, and churches thrive.

Polish immigrant families flocked to Greenpoint in the 19th century, mostly due to the abundance of factory jobs spurred by the industrial revolution.

Lumber yards, heavy industry, and manufacturing plants provided employment to Greenpoint residents who lived and worked here. The East river to the West of the neighborhood, and the Newtown Creek to the North, marked the borders of Greenpoint, as well as served as vital arteries for shipping and trade.

For many years, Greenpoint continued in this manner. However, this industrial boom came with its drawbacks. Environmental issues became apparent, especially after the 1950’s Greenpoint Oil Spill, one of the largest oil spills in US history, polluted the Newtown Creek. Greenpoint residents did not just accept this; instead, they banded together to fight for better regulations and cleaned up their neighborhood.

Rezoning and Revitalization

The revitalization of Greenpoint was not only environmental. Thanks to rezoning in the 2000’s real estate development in this traditionally working class neighborhood boomed. These days, Polish and Polish-American families live alongside new residents drawn to the neighborhood’s charm. Residential units built here included both market rate and affordable units, adding much needed housing. This development of new housing, as well as retail spaces, helped Greenpoint thrive. The East River waterfront, long home to industrial space, was repurposed to a promenade with beautiful views of Manhattan.

Is Greenpoint Right for You?

Now in 2022, Greenpoint is a fascinating neighborhood with a mix of influences and history evident on every block. New Yorkers looking to live in a largely residential, culturally colorful community can find a perfect home in Greenpoint, but so can buyers who want to live in a hip, trendy, and luxurious residence. Most spaces in Greenpoint try to meld these two sides into a unique living experience you cannot find anywhere else in the City.

So, if you are shopping for New Developments in Brooklyn, consider these great options going up around Greenpoint.
