Designed by architects Cook + Fox (The Lucida and Bank of America Tower), a planned 17-story, 350,000-square-foot office building could become Brooklyn’s first LEED Gold-certified commercial office tower. The tower, part of the larger City Point development in downtown Brooklyn, is a joint venture between Acadia Realty Trust, MacFarlane Partners, P/A Associates, Washington Square Partners and Rose Associates, is a smaller version of a much larger tower that had been proposed for the same site. CIty Point will also include 525,000 square feet of retail space, as well as a 900,000-square-foot residential component that will also include affordable units. Earlier this week, the development team named Cushman & Wakefield as the office tower’s exclusive leasing agent.
