Rockefeller Group JV Launches Leasing at First Brooklyn Project

Rockefeller Group, in a joint venture partnership with Park Tower Group, launched leasing for The Dupont, a 361-unit luxury tower along Greenpoint’s waterfront. The property signifies the century-old real estate company’s first project in Brooklyn and is located within the 22-acre Greenpoint Landing.

Architecture firm Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel envisioned the skyscraper’s exterior, while AD100 firm Workstead designed the interiors and homes, with 90% featuring water views.

“We were very selective when determining where and when we’d undertake our first residential endeavor in Brooklyn,” said Meg Brod, senior managing director of the Northeast at Rockefeller Group. “With Brooklyn’s creative energy, its thriving and revitalized northern waterfront and design contributions from partners like Workstead, we aimed to create a rental property that will be attractive for renters today and in the future. Rockefeller Group’s vision is to create housing that will stand the test of time, build community and blend into the fabric of the existing neighborhood. The Dupont exemplifies this.”
