City Point is a mixed-use multi-building residential and commercial complex in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. City Point is, by square footage, the largest mixed-use development in the city. City Point III, standing at 720 feet in height, is currently the second tallest building in Brooklyn (behind the Brooklyn Tower) as well as the fourth tallest on Long Island (behind the Brooklyn Tower, the Skyline Tower in Long Island City, Queens, and Sven in Long Island City). City Point was supported by the New York City Economic Development Corporation as a sustainable mixed-use development for retail and housing.
