Greenpoint / Williamsburg Waterfront Rezoning Project

The Greenpoint/Williamsburg Waterfront Rezoning Project transformed a 184-block former industrial hub along the East River in Brooklyn into a high-density, mixed-use residential and recreational corridor. It enabled massive private development in exchange for public waterfront access and affordable housing.

Schnur Group successfully guided the Greenpoint/Williamsburg Waterfront Rezoning Project through every stage of approval—from local community boards and elected officials to the City Council’s Land Use Committee. The effort included securing buy-in from residents, stakeholders, and government representatives, while shaping positive public opinion across local, city, and state media. As a result, our clients were granted full passage of the rezoning plan, paving the way for transformative waterfront development in Brooklyn.
