Was wondering the same thing myself.

Was wondering if the unions were still picketing the place making it hard for the non union workers??

Wow they have moved a lot on this one. It really is taking shape.

Looks like the first shorter tower is more or less topped out, second one on the way up.

I am looking forward to these being pretty much wrapped up, then maybe we will get a clearer picture of phase 3.

I'll just leave this here

Gary Barnett’s Extell Enters Brooklyn With City Point Deal

Quote:

Gary Barnett‘s Extell Development Company is slated to develop residential units in what marks phase three of City Point, the mixed-use development in Downtown Brooklyn, Commercial Observer has learned.

The development deal, which is in the contract stage, represents Mr. Barnett’s first foray into Kings County. The prolific developer is undecided about whether the project will be a rental or a condominium, sources close to the deal said, but no affordable housing has been included in the plans.

When Commercial Observer interviewed Mr. Barnett for the Sept. 3 issue, he said he was moving into the Brooklyn market because “the market’s moved up there. It’s a diversification for us. And it was an opportunity of size. So it made sense.” He declined to identify the specific site then and today Mr. Barnett declined to comment.

City Point is a 1.9-million-square-foot residential, retail and office development rising in Downtown Brooklyn. Phase three is comprised of a residential tower that sits atop the retail and office podium. The residential component is due for completion by 2020, according to a spokeswoman for developer Washington Square Partners, and the retail and office components are set for completion in 2016. The first phase of a 50,000-square-foot retail building, One DeKalb, was completed in February 2012.

In June 2007, Acadia Realty Trust and Washington Square Partners closed on a ground lease for the city-owned City Point site, formerly Albee Square Mall. The site is between Fulton and Willoughby Streets and Flatbush Avenue. It broke ground in the summer of 2010, as Commercial Observer previously reported.

Acadia didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment and Washington Square Partners’ spokeswoman said she couldn’t get anyone on the phone to discuss the phase three deal.

If Gary Barnett is the developer, then skyscraper watchers will likely be very, very happy.

It certainly is good news. When Barnett intends to build, he does just that. So we'll see what we get.

The view will be so different when City Point (all phases), 340 Flatbush and a slew of other towers rise for Downtown. Exciting times! This picture I found is breathtaking and I can't wait for more skyline photos from Brooklyn.

Great Updates everyone! She's rising very fast.

Hopefully early 2015 we'll have more info about Phase 3. Undoubtedly the biggest element of this entire project. Hoping they don't disappoint with the height.

That last shot really shows the development opportunity of the area. Many of those low rises if bought could yield some nice towers. I'd like to see this stretch of avenue become a canyon.

A 30-story mixed-use tower might soon join the others

Many approved developments aren't in the shot like Avalon Willoughby and Phase 3 of City Point. Also the development right across the street from City Point on Flatbush (adjacent to Juniors Restaurant, 340 Flatbush Ave) is approved for a 775ft tower.

So disappointed in this. It should've definitely been bigger. Nothing will be special about this building.
