Leasing recently began for The Dupont, a 41-story luxury rental property along the Brooklyn, N.Y., waterfront. Located within the 22-acre Greenpoint Landing, where it overlooks the newly constructed Newtown Barge Park, the high-rise features East River and Manhattan skyline views along with 20,000 sf of indoor and outdoor communal space.

Comprising 381 homes, The Dupont is outfitted with a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, including a limited collection of penthouses. Interior design elements include genuine hardwood oak flooring throughout; soaring ceiling heights; keyless entry; and in-residence washers and dryers, with private outdoor space accompanying select apartments.

Designed for entertaining, kitchens feature luxurious quartz countertops and backsplash; Workstead-designed Italian cabinets with custom hardware; Bosch and Blomberg panelized appliances; garbage disposals; and custom finishes with wood accents, drawing a point of connection to the flooring. Bathrooms feature Botticino Italian marble stone floors and walls; custom vanities with pewter accents by Workstead; and frameless glass showers.

The property’s collection of amenities includes the cloud-level Rooftop Clubhouse featuring a heated outdoor pool and sundeck. Indoors, a pool lounge with an accompanying kitchen provides an indoor/outdoor environment year-round. Transitioning to the garden level, the communal spaces offer a diverse mix of best-in-class social, wellness, and remote work experiences. The Social Lounge is equipped with a fully outfitted kitchen, entertainment area, and gaming room. For those with hybrid and remote-work jobs, a beautifully appointed Co-Working Lounge features a conference room, as well as multiple virtual meeting rooms and phone booths.

Health and wellness are cornerstones of the living experience, reflected in the Fitness Center that features equipment by Technogym and Peloton, a yoga studio and an accompanying outdoor terrace. Relaxation and restoration are also on deck in The Spa, which includes an infrared sauna and a private treatment room.

Additional amenity spaces include a Garden Terrace outfitted with barbecue stations and a lounge area. Other communal spaces include a Children’s Playroom, Private Dining area, and a 24-hour attended lobby. For those looking to occupy themselves on a rainy day or tap into their inner artist, the lobby-level Craft Room includes art supplies and essentials curated by TULU. The property provides on-site parking with electric car charging stations and bike storage.

The Dupont is the first project in Brooklyn by century-old developer the Rockefeller Group in a joint venture partnership with Park Tower Group.
