At Accord Real Estate Group, we focus on representing property owners who plan to sell their real estate assets. With over 35 years of experience in the marketing and sale of properties mostly throughout Brooklyn, NY we know that staying informed about neighborhood developments helps owners understand the market forces shaping their asset values. Here's what's happening in two of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods.
Greenpoint's Waterfront Welcomes Serén
Greenpoint continues to prove its strength as a high-demand residential market with the completion of Serén at 16 West Street. This 11-story building from developer Strekte brings 132 thoughtfully designed rental units to the neighborhood's evolving waterfront, another strong signal of sustained market momentum.
The 114-foot structure delivers an average unit size of 701 square feet, reflecting what today's renters actively seek—quality space in a desirable location. Thirty-five apartments are designated for households earning between 40% and 130% of the area median income, creating economic diversity that strengthens neighborhood stability. Ground-floor retail space will add to the street-level vitality that makes Greenpoint increasingly attractive.
The amenity package—fitness center, rooftop terrace, bike storage, EV charging stations, and business center —represents the current baseline for competitive new construction. The rapid construction timeline, with the entire structure rising in just over a year, speaks to robust developer confidence. The building's proximity to Bushwick Inlet Park and the Greenpoint ferry landing enhances its appeal for the professionals and families increasingly drawn to waterfront Brooklyn living.
Nevins Landing Takes Shape in Gowanus
The transformation of Gowanus accelerates as Nevins Landing progresses along the canal. This two-tower development at 310-340 Nevins Street will deliver 654 rental units across 600,000 square feet —one of the most significant residential projects in the neighborhood's ongoing evolution.
Both reinforced concrete superstructures have topped out, with the 22-story Nevins Landing North and the 17-story Nevins Landing South now in the façade installation phase. Each building will activate the waterfront with 225 feet of ground-floor retail frontage along Union Street and the Gowanus Canal . The shared esplanade being designed by James Corner Field Operations will create public access to the waterfront—a significant amenity for the entire community.
The site set a record as the largest residential development deal in New York City when it sold for $102 million in 2021. That kind of capital commitment signals strong long-term belief in the neighborhood's trajectory. Both towers are targeting spring 2026 completion, meaning this major addition to Gowanus housing stock will arrive within the next year.
For property owners in Greenpoint, Gowanus, and surrounding areas, these projects represent the kind of professionally executed development that elevates entire districts. The combination of waterfront access, new retail, public amenities, and substantial residential density creates urban vitality that supports property values over time—exactly the kind of market intelligence that informs smart decisions about when and how to position your real estate assets for sale.
