  • Westbrook Partners on their visionary transformation of St. John’s Terminal in Manhattan, which has included the financing of the buy-out of Fortress Investment Group for a majority stake in the property, obtaining necessary ULURP approvals for development and air rights from Hudson River Park Trust, the sale of the south unit for commercial purposes and the proposed development of the remaining unit.
  • An international opportunity fund in a joint venture for the mixed-use development of 152 luxury high-rise condominium units, a 50,000-square-foot cultural component to be occupied by the Mexican Museum in San Francisco and the public and private use of the Jessie Square parking garage.
