Charney Companies – City Planning Approval for Mixed-Use Development – Brooklyn, NY

Represented, and obtained City Planning Commission approval for, Charney Companies on complex land use and zoning work for their project at 95 Rockwell Place in Downtown Brooklyn, NY. Herrick helped our client obtain an authorization from the city that will allow them to increase the maximum buildable square footage on their property by 20% in return for making certain improvements to the nearby Nevins Street MTA subway station. Importantly, this is the first such authorization granted by the city that was not contingent on the applicant providing an elevator at the subway station. The authorization will facilitate the development of a 53-story approximately 170k square foot mixed-use building.
