GREENPOINT — The City Council postponed its final vote Thursday on whether to approve part of the Greenpoint waterfront's controversial high-rise development plan.
The decision on Chetrit Group's proposed towers at 77 Commercial St. was postponed for further negotiations, officials said, not providing a specific date for the vote.
The development at 77 Commercial St. is the smaller of two projects — the other being at Greenpoint Landing — which was also scheduled for a vote later Thursday.
Brooklyn's Community Board 1 has vehemently opposed the project as it stands, citing a need for more affordable housing and senior housing, better transportation to the area, and other issues in the neighborhood that an influx of new residents would bring.
