The Dupont is a new 41-story rental building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which has become a prominent part of the area's skyline. Located within the Greenpoint Landing development, this high-rise targets renters looking for views of Manhattan. The project, spearheaded by the Rockefeller Group, values the authenticity of Greenpoint, an established neighborhood unlike the newer developments emerging. The contrast between the low-rise homes in Greenpoint and the towering structures of Greenpoint Landing highlights its ongoing search for identity amidst ongoing urbanization.
The high-rise, the Dupont, now stands as a significant addition to Greenpoint's skyline, attracting renters from nearby Williamsburg who seek unobstructed Manhattan views.
Meg Brod from the Rockefeller Group highlights that Greenpoint’s authenticity attracted them to develop in the area, valuing the existing neighborhood over creating a new one.
Despite its proximity, Greenpoint Landing with its modern towers contrasts with the authentic character of Greenpoint, which is characterized by low-rise townhouses and unpretentious charm.
As Greenpoint Landing continues to grow, it is still in search of its identity, balancing modern development with the existing local culture and authenticity.
