Cranes Out at Huge Affordable Greenpoint Build

Site work is well under way at the affordable and market-rate build at 1133 Manhattan Avenue, between Box and Clay streets. The building isn’t going up yet, but a few massive cranes were digging up the ground the other day. A rendering for the 210-unit residential building planned here came out earlier this year. The studio, one- and two-bedroom units will be half affordable, half market rate. The building will also have 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail along Manhattan Avenue, a roof terrace, lounge and parking garage. It’s supposed to be ready for occupancy by late 2014.
