The Bellslip

Named for one of the old ship slips that once lined this industrial shore, The Bellslip is one of the towers of Greenpoint Landing, the mixed-income waterfront development at the mouth of Newtown Creek in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Brookfield Properties developed the 31-story building at 1 Bell Slip, which was completed in 2022 and holds 414 apartments, including a share of income-restricted units.

Brookfield and Park Tower Group have developed Greenpoint Landing following the 2005 rezoning of the Greenpoint and Williamsburg waterfront, and it is planned to reach about 5,500 apartments across roughly 22 acres. Its streets and buildings take their names from the old slips, and its public esplanade is being extended section by section as new buildings open. The Bellslip sits on the East River shoreline with esplanade and open space at its base, looking across to Midtown Manhattan and north toward Roosevelt Island, in the quiet of the north Greenpoint waterfront. Franklin Street’s shops and WNYC Transmitter Park are nearby.

The India Street NYC Ferry landing, a short walk south, offers a short ride to East 34th Street, and the G train at Greenpoint Avenue is inland to the east.
