Kasowitz team represents Steiner NYC in Wegmans ground lease at Brooklyn Navy Yard

May 26, 2015 - Brokerage
Douglas Heitner, Jeffrey DiChiara, and Julia Sanabria of Kasowitz's real estate practice represented Steiner NYC in simultaneously negotiating a 96-year ground lease with the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation for the development of six acres of land at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a mixed use retail and light industrial/office complex, and a long term lease with Wegmans to serve as the anchor tenant. "Working side by side with our client we were able to bring our public-private expertise to serve as the fulcrum in bringing together the BNYDC, Steiner and Wegmans to craft a deal that addressed the group's collective desire for a viable economic arrangement, sustainable, appropriate development of the Navy Yard and job creation in an underserved, underemployed area of Brooklyn," said Heitner, who led the Kasowitz team.
