Meanwhile, in Downtown Brooklyn, the 1.8 million-square-foot mixed-use City Point will have three residential buildings reportedly totaling 1,140 units, including City Tower and 7 DeKalb Ave. There will also be 675,000 square feet of retail — including restaurants and the DeKalb Market food hall, with Katz’s Deli and Guss’ Pickles opening this fall to serve new residents.
City Point co-developer, Christopher Conlon of Acadia Realty Trust, says locals are finally getting the services they need closer to home: “These are Brooklynites who want to work, live and play in their own neighborhood.”
