Topic: Greenpoint


In the News (Sat 25 May 13)

  
  Greenpoint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenpoint is the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
It is bordered on the south by Williamsburg at the Bushwick inlet, on the East by The Brooklyn Queens Expressway and East Williamsburg, on the north by Long Island City, Queens at the Pulaski Bridge, and on the west by the East River.
Greenpoint is largely middle class and multi-generational; it is not uncommon to find three generations of family members living in this community.

 Groen Hoek -- History
Greenpoint was merely rural farmland until the mid 19th century when population and economic growth in Manhattan forced shipbuilders beyond the island’s borders.
Greenpoint, handsomely situated on the East River, drew the attention of several prominent shipbuilders, who not only acquired land for their new shipyards but also for their new estates, replacing the sprawling farmland cultivated for centuries.
Wooden shipbuilding was relegated to the past, and although many Greenpoint shipyards were retrofit to meet the wartime demands of iron shipbuilding, the shipyards and available land adjacent to the shipyards could not expand enough to compete with the copious landmass available throughout the flourishing mid-United States.

 FDIC: Decisions on Bank Applications - GreenPoint Bank
As GreenPoint does not wish to divest of the portions of real estate property not used by it for banking purposes, GreenPoint requests consent from the FDIC to continue to engage as principal in the activity of holding the real estate properties for investment purposes.
GreenPoint proposes to transfer the subject real estate properties to two separate wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are to be formed for the specific purpose of holding and managing the Rocky Point and Sheepshead Bay shopping center properties.
GreenPoint's indirect real estate investment activities (including equity, debt, or extensions of credit) in the wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall be limited to those which are currently held, and GreenPoint shall not engage in any additional real estate investment activity or make any additional investment in the Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the FDIC.
