Topping out at 720 feet this week, Extell Development Company's Brooklyn Point is on its way to becoming the NYC borough's tallest building.
Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with custom interiors by Katherine Newman, the 68-story tower will be located at 138 Willoughby Street and within City Point, a 600,000-square-foot development of retail, dining, and entertainment.
Designed with a sculptural facade that gives the tower “an elegant solidity” as KPF Design Principal Rob Whitlock describes, Brooklyn Point includes 458 luxury units that range from studios to three-bedroom residences starting at $850,000, as well as over 40,000 square-feet of indoor and outdoor lifestyle amenities and services.
On the ninth floor, NY-based Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects designed a landscaped outdoor retreat that will offer a sun deck, dining, a bar, putting green, lounging areas and fire pits, and a children's playground. On top of that, the rooftop will have an infinity pool that shows off sweeping views of Manhattan.
The first closings at Brooklyn Point are scheduled to start in early 2020.

KPF is the new worst architecture firm -- responsible for much of the glass-guzzling McUrbanism towers destroying NY and beyond.
