Rendering of One Blue Slip, from the New York Times and Wearevisuals and QuallsBenson A gorgeous new luxury rental building has risen in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, an area that up until now has been known more for industrial structures than lavish residencies. One Blue Slip is a 30-story new rental development in the neighborhood that is part of Greenpoint Landing, a $1 billion mixed-use project that aims to develop 10 buildings and 5,500 homes in the area in the next decade.

On Wednesday November 6th, the City Planning Commission approved two residential construction projects along the Greenpoint waterfront in Brooklyn. The unanimous decision was made in spite of some voiced community indignation.
