A developer is eyeing a massive purchase of several properties close to the Greenpoint waterfront to make way for a large residential project, according to a newly-released report.

Yoel Goldman, who runs the Brooklyn-based All Year Management, is gearing up to acquire a large development site bordered by Franklin, Clay, and Dupont Streets, The Real Deal reported.

Goldman reportedly signed a $55 million agreement a number of weeks ago for a 10-parcel site made up of warehouses and taking up almost half the block between Franklin Street and Manhattan Avenue.

The developer intends to build a residential complex comprised of a number of structures on the sites, sources told The Real Deal.

The Greenpoint properties, however, are contaminated, and require an environmental clean up before they can be developed.

The sites had been in the hands of investors who planned to build market rate and affordable apartments on the properties. However, they never got around to cleaning up the parcels.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
