Gary Handel, founder of Handel Architects, highlighted the building’s design in a statement, noting how “35 Commercial Street – with its stacked brick volumes and detailed facades – connects to Greenpoint’s industrial past.” He further elaborated on the “dramatic arched entryway” as a “portal” leading to landscaped courtyards and a lobby with a “sinuous ceiling” inspired by the nearby waterfront.
Upon full completion, Greenpoint Landing will transform the area with approximately 5,500 residences and five acres of publicly accessible green space. This includes lawns, an esplanade, and picnic areas, creating a vibrant community hub. The first building in the Greenpoint Landing development opened in 2016, marking the beginning of this significant neighborhood transformation.
The location of 35 Commercial Street offers both urban convenience and access to green spaces. While the Superfund site of NuHart Plastics is located across the street, plans are underway for Box Street Park, a new park situated just northeast of the building, promising future recreational opportunities.
