33 Eagle Street is the second residential building to be built as part of the Greenpoint Landing development in Brooklyn. Located on 22-acres of waterfront in Brooklyn, Greenpoint Landing transformed a formerly industrial area into a new multi-building development. The plan re-established the neighborhood’s waterfront connection through the creation of new streets, new housing, new waterfront parks, and a new public school, all designed to integrate into Greenpoint’s already thriving, diverse community.

33 Eagle Street includes 98 100% permanently affordable units, and the building holds the corner at the intersection of Eagle Street and West Street. Materials include a mix of brick and black metal, meant to evoke Greenpoint’s industrial past, while a stone sign embedded in the façade marks the intersection of Eagle and West, as was the local practice in 19^th century Greenpoint. Black accent brick is recessed and rusticated at both the ground and 7^th floor facades to create visual interest. The darker bands are carried into the lobby space as tiling, visually connecting the interior to the facade.

A private landscaped area in the form of an interior garden is broken into three distinct garden rooms, each defined by a rich palette of paving materials and strategic plantings. The spaces are connected by ‘bridges’ spanning stormwater cleansing swales which in turn are connected to a stormwater detention tank set below the main terrace. Trees in above-ground planters placed around the subterranean chamber frame the space and offer window-like views into other “rooms” in the sequence, allowing for multiple uses by groups and individuals.
