  • Thor Picks up 180 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn for $136M [Updated]
    OCTOBER 15, 2015 Thor Picks Up 180 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn for $136M [Updated] BY LIAM LA GUERRE AND LAUREN ELKIES SCHRAM Thor Equities has closed on its $136 million purchase of 180 Livingston Street one block from the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn from two owners, Brooklyn Tabernacle and Treeline Companies, Thor announced today. That breaks down to $85 million for Treeline’s 182,000-square-foot commercial condo and $51 million to the church for its 75,000-square-foot condo. The Treeline deal includes the roof and 142,525 additional buildable square feet for as-of-right development, a source with knowledge of yesterday’s two simultaneously completed deals said. Brooklyn Tabernacle owned the lower level and first and second floors. Treeline owned floors three through six. Brooklyn Tabernacle will remain in the 33,500-square-foot space below grade, the source said. And the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is Treeline’s anchor tenant in over 123,900 square feet on floors four through six until April 2023, according to CoStar. Treeline originally purchased the property in 2001 and sold the lower floors to Brooklyn Tabernacle in 2004, according to Michael Schor, the Treeline’s chief investment officer. “We turned what was then a warehouse into an office property,” Mr. Schor told Commercial Observer. “An opportunity came to monetize it and we decided to sell the property.” Cushman & Wakefield‘s Stephen Palmese represented the seller in the transaction. Mr. Palmese was not immediately available to comment on the transaction. The buyer did not have a broker. “180 Livingston is ideally situated in the heart of Brooklyn’s largest business district and surrounded by such dynamic neighborhoods as Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard,” Joseph Sitt, chief executive officer of Thor Equities, said in prepared remarks.

  • Rezoning Coney Island the Crisis of Routine‐Development and the Struggles Over “The People’S Playground”
    Rezoning Coney Island The crisis of routine‐development and the struggles over “The people’s Playground” Alessandro Busà Architect, DFG Fellow, Center for Metropolitan Studies, Berlin Abstract The struggles over development in Coney Island cast light on the crisis of conventional development practices Keywords: that crystallized in the times of New York’s housing boom, between Mayor Bloombergs’ first and second Coney Island term. Coney Island holds a special role in history as a popular amusement park district. The recently approved New York Urban rezoning plan replicates widely implemented development strategies featuring a residential and commercial development expansion at the expenses of the land currently zoned for amusements; it allows for the rise of condominium Rezoning towers and large scale "entertainment‐related" retail outlets, while permanently shrinking the amusement Amusement area from 61 to around 9 acres. In this paper, I argue that the reproduction of routine‐development industry practices that proved profitable in a booming economy is likely to fail in the newly configured economic Economic crisis framework and in the peculiar local context. The ongoing recession calls for a different approach to Architect development, one that favors economic diversification and capitalizes on local distinctive advantages. Alessandro Busà, The flattening of Coney Island’s peculiar assets will prove detrimental to its livelihood in the years to come. DFG Fellow To clarify this points, I will draw from recent studies of the Municipal Art Society in New York, which illuminate the potential of the amusement industry as a motor for economic development, contributing to Center for the empowerment of local business in the area and to an overall diversification of the city’s plunging Metropolitan economy.
