Façade installation has begun as construction continues to rise on 77-87 Commercial Street, a two-tower development along Newtown Creek in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by CetraRuddy and developed by Clipper Equity, the project consists of the 40-story, 429-foot tall, 298-unit 87 Commercial Street and the 30-story, 331-foot tall, 222-unit 77 Commercial Street, connected by a shared seven-story podium. The 811,000-square-foot property will yield 200 affordable housing units and a 300-vehicle parking garage below grade. Ray Builders Inc. is the general contractor, Hatfield Group is the façade consultant, RC Structures is pouring the concrete, and WSP is the structural engineer for the complex, which is located at the confluence of Commercial and Box Streets.
The reinforced concrete superstructures have made significant progress since our last update in September, when the podium was only a few floors above street level. Both towers are now more than halfway to topping out, and the podium is already mostly enclosed in its bronze-colored paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Concrete pouring continues to move along while the construction crane steadily jumps higher into the sky with each new added floor.

Spread out new views of the development, beautiful while looking superstructures rising. No serious on progress, with you only just caught its moving forward: Thanks to Michael Young.
The facade looks pretty slick.
Maybe it’s the oversized parcels, but even CetraRuddy does boring in LIC.
The panel gap tolerances arent exactly uniform.
“at the confluence of Commercial and Box Streets”?
Oof, someone’s trying very hard to sound smart. It’s called an intersection.
You know there’s this marvelous invention called the dictionary. Its spelled D I C T I O N A R Y and hope that’s not hard for you to spell. And they have fascinating things called synonyms, which you seem to know how to use and good for you lad! Maybe be open to learning new English words instead of being an insecure d*ckehead and taking your sh*t out on other people, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get a gold star from your teacher on your homework for being a good student…
I’m sorry your comprehension skills are on par with supermarket tabloids
300 parking space uh uh uh and 200 affordable unit that won’t be affordable.
wow amazing project!!
