Overview

Halletts Point will redefine green living with a vision of sustainability that both respects nature and promotes well-being. Halletts Point sets a new paradigm for environmental responsibility. Centered around the four core elements— Water, Air, Earth and Energy— Halletts Point will give back to the environment and provide a home where residents not only live well but thrive. An integral part of the Halletts Point DNA, sustainability has been woven throughout the project.

Elevated Shoreline

The elevated shoreline will prevent erosion and help safeguard the peninsula from rising sea levels. The development will be built in compliance with FEMA and HUD flood plain codes.

Water Filtration

A water recovery and reuse system will recycle wastewater onsite and set a standard for water resource management. Building 1 will process up to 50,000 gallons of water each day and buildings 2-5 are expected to process 85,000 gallons each. This system will prevent millions of gallons of waste water from being dumped into the East River and the reclaimed water will be used to flush toilets and to irrigate the campus.

How do I get there?

Currently, there are three bus lines with routes to the site, and we are expecting additional service as the property is built.

Parkland
