With its sculptural façade and eclectic materiality, Brooklyn Point sets a new standard for luxury living in Downtown Brooklyn while suiting the borough’s renowned creative spirit.
Anchoring City Point, the largest food, shopping, and entertainment destination in Brooklyn, the 720-foot tower serves as a gateway to the borough and a landmark for its burgeoning downtown.
Designed as two folded sheets, the façade features reveals at the northeast and southwest corners while the crown angles up to a point, bestowing the building with an iconic profile. The curtain is composed of stacked frames that create sculptural relief accented by an interplay of light and shadow. The custom, double-height frames accentuate the verticality of the building and the facetted planes add depth and texture to the exterior. Below, the podium continues the framed glazing while responding to the diverse streetscape. Each side is treated with a unique scale and materiality of the frame motif to correspond to the program and atmosphere of the block.
Above the extensive and interconnected retail podium, the tower contains 458 residences—a mix of studios to 3-bedrooms—with luxurious, custom interiors. Occupants will have access to over 40,000 square feet of services and lifestyle amenities, topped by the city’s highest rooftop infinity pool, offering sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines.
