Mayor breaks ground on waterfront project

Mayor Bloomberg on Monday broke ground for the first residential development spurred by last year’s rezoning of the Greenpoint-Williamsburg waterfront. A market-rate complex called Northside Piers and a building called Palmer’s Dock will make up the first phase of the residential development at 164 Kent Avenue. Both parts of the first phase will create 300 residential units, 113 of which are expected to be affordable to residents earning as low as $21,300 annually, and up to $56,700 for a family of four.
