GFI Takes Brooklyn–and Then Some

Proof that Brooklyn is the new Manhattan just keeps rolling in. GFI president Michael Weiser reports that Brooklyn investments accounted for 55% of GFI’s deals so far in 2014, highlighted by senior director Yosef Katz’s $39.5M sale of 1125 Banner Ave, a 102-unit luxury apartment building in Sheepshead Bay. Action also grows in the Bronx, where GFI reports a 25% increase.
