1 Eagle Street - Eagle + West

OMA NY · Greenpoint · 2022

Construction is wrapping up at Greenpoint Landing’s fourth market rate site Eagle + West, a two tower development by Brookfield Properties that offers 745 residential rental units. Designed by Jason Long of OMA New York, the 30 and 40-story towers feature a massing that recalls a ziggurat and its inverse.

Eagle + West at sunrise on the Williamsburg waterfront, with the towers of Hunters Point South visible to the north (left).

The form of the taller southwest tower features four inverted cantilever phases on the 14th, 21st, 28th, and 36th floor that extend the cantilever to a total of 50 feet from the base structure to the top floors. At each cantilevered phase, engineered steel truss platforms were installed to support and take the load of the cantilever during construction. Once the platforms are removed, the cantilevered slabs are supported by sloping columns designed to transfer the load back to the structure and hung columns reinforced with multi strand post tension to support the structure suspended from above, like a suspension bridge. The post tension multi strand reinforcing, protected by plastic sleeves, is pulled at the top of each column to bring them into tension to support the cantilever.
