We’re thrilled to announce that 2 Oak Street, a rare waterfront development site exclusively listed by BKREA, has been featured in Business Insider and several other publications!🏙 Located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, this prime site offers a total zoning lot area of 43,611 square feet, with incredible waterfront access and iconic Manhattan views. Under the proposed City of Yes Housing Opportunity initiative—widely expected to pass by the end of this year—the FAR would increase to 2.54, allowing for 110,773 square feet of residential ZFA as-of-right. Additionally, developers have the option to transfer more ZFA from the adjacent northern site, further enhancing the development potential. With flexible zoning, including a potential boost under City of Yes, 2 Oak Street presents an unmatched opportunity for a landmark development. Feel free to reach out to Bob Knakal, Seth Samowitz, or Ryan Candel to learn more.
