Collaboration seemed to be the word for the day at the quarterly Real Estate Roundtable held at the Brooklyn Historical Society Wednesday, Aug. 1.Speakers Sharon Greenberger, president and CEO of the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA), and the NYPD’s Joseph Fox, commander of Brooklyn South and its 13 police precincts, both emphasized the importance of working together with developers and realtors.
She was speaking about current conversations underway with Jed and David Walentas at Two Trees Management Co., who are proposing a middle school for their new development at 38 Water St. in DUMBO, and with Forest City Ratner Companies and its massive Atlantic Yards Development.“We realized we needed to be at the table [with Ratner] early on and so we were and there will be a school component there,” she said.
