City Point is a proposed 1.8 million square foot, multi-phase, mixed-use development

designed by New York-based practice COOKFOX for the center of the rapidly transforming

Downtown Brooklyn. The project will create an iconic presence by acting as a cornerstone

for the Brooklyn skyline and establishing a critical mass of new growth. The three distinct

phases of City Point encompass retail space, affordable and market-rate housing, office

space and a market hall, which together create a strong base for growth and integration in

the core ofBrooklyn. City Point will foster a multi-use urban environment, connect subway

commuters with green spaces, and create a vibrant heart in the downtown area.

More about City Point after the break

Located at the intersection of Dekalb Avenue and the Fulton Mall, One Dekalb is the first

phase and retail anchor of City Point. In addition, One Dekalb is the first new building on the

Fulton Mall corridor in decades and serves as a marker for a revitalized Downtown Brooklyn.

With a nod to the vibrancy and context of Downtown Brooklyn, the design of One Dekalb is

heavily influenced by Albee Square, the historic Dime Savings Bank, and adjacent

buildings. Anchored on Albee Square along Fulton mall, One Dekalbs dynamic geometry

effectively engages the public plaza while deferring to the adjacent landmarked 1908 Dime

Savings Bank. In addition to maintaining sightlines to the bank, the building responds to this

marble-clad landmark with white and pale gray terra cotta cladding. Along Fleet Street, the

distinctive architecture of the Dime Savings Bank is framed by a double-height display

window. The horizontal ribs of the terra cotta are varied in tone and texture, adding depth to

the faade in a way that plays off the context of Albee Square and the Fulton Mall.

Also part of Phase 1, Dekalb Market is an interim use housed in a collect ion of salvaged

shipping containers and is located on a portion of the site that will be used for future phases

of City Point. This open-air market, urban farming demonstration and event space brings

together Brooklyns creative entrepreneurs in a vibrant community setting and activates

what would otherwise be an empty lot establishing City Point as a destination before the

development is complete.

Phase 2 of City Point, which began construction in March 2012, will encompass a 225,000

GSF affordable housing tower at Fleet Street, a 335,000 GSF market-rate housing tower at

Flatbush Avenue, and 660,000 GSF of retail that will seamlessly connect to One Dekalb.

Phase 2 also includes a permanent Market Hall that will provide fresh food to the

community and showcase Brookly n-based food purveyors.

Phase 3 will commence construction by June 2017, and will include approximately 600,000

SF of office and residential space at the northern portion of the development site. Located at

Willoughby Street, this building will be the tallest component of City Point.

The project conceptually draws from the Three Sisters Native American method of planting

corn, beans and squash together, which grow symbiotically to ensure a sustainable harvest.

In this way, the diverse housing and retail programs will support each other to cultivate a

lasting urban community at City Point.

The massing of City Point is intended to create three distinct residential towers, each

massing resolving at the sidewalk and differentiating the residential program from the retail

portions of the project. The areas between the residential towers will utilize terraces and

green roofs to extend the green spaces of the adjacent newly-opened Albee Square Public

Plaza and future 1.15-acre Willoughby Square Park into the built environment. Pedestrians

will be able to connect to the Dekalb Avenue subway hub either through the Market Hall or

along the tree-lined Willoughby Avenue, creating a more enjoyable commuting experience.

Reinforcing the pedestrian environment as well as the importance of transit-oriented
