171 Calyer Street, 4C THE CALYER GREENPOI, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY 11222

Greenpoint is like a restored classic car or vinyl reissue of a landmark album, embracing its industrial roots while forging onward as an adored cultural hub for today's New Yorkers. In its manufacturing heyday, Greenpoint built the USS Monitor — the famed Union Army ironclad warship — dominated America’s porcelain industry, and produced an untold number of pencils. Some of those former brick warehouses were converted into modern homes, while others, particularly those on the east side of McGuinness Boulevard, remain bustling cradles of commerce. The waterfront that catalyzed Greenpoint’s industrial growth has played a starring role in its evolution, welcoming residents and visitors alike with a slower, more scenic pace of life beside the East River. McCarren Park serves as an unofficial dividing line between Greenpoint and Williamsburg and blesses the area with a vast space to throw or kick the ball around, swim some laps, attend an outdoor concert, or spread out for the day.
