Remarks on the project

According to Aaron Appel of Walker & Dunlop, “Brook mixed-use development in New York represented a once-in-a-generation chance to construct an exceptional mixed-use project at the center of Downtown Brooklyn’s current development boom” as one of the most highly sought-after development sites in Downtown Brooklyn.

“We are happy to add this one to the list. We have contributed to financing approximately 35 percent of Downtown Brooklyn’s recent projects. Aaron Appel, Keith Kurland, Jonathan Schwartz, Adam Schwartz, Michael Ianno, and Sean Bastian worked with Walker & Dunlop to secure the finance,” revealed Appel.
