City Tower at City Point
Leasing has begun at City Tower, the market rate rental tower from The Brodsky Organization in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by COOKFOX Architects, the 48-story, 335,000-square-foot tower is the second of three planned towers for the City Point development site. The tower features a stepped form with setbacks that afford expansive views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. An off-white unitized terra cotta panel system clads the tower, changing in tone with the time of day and complementing the unitized metal panel façade of its neighboring affordable tower.
