(NYSE:ARI), which is managed by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management to arrange the financing for the construction of The Brook.

The Eastern Site consists of a 51-story mixed-use tower that will feature 591 thoughtfully designed studio, one-and two-bedroom apartments utilizing the Affordable New York ("ANY") and Inclusionary Housing ("IH") programs and over 30,000 square feet of amenity space. Residents will have access to a plethora of indoor and outdoor amenities including an outdoor pool with cabanas, dog run park, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a half basketball court and multiple resident lounges. The Eastern Site also offers over 17,200 square feet of above ground retail space at the base of the building.
“As one of the most highly-coveted development sites within Downtown Brooklyn, The Brook represented a once-in-a-generation opportunity to develop an unparalleled mixed-use project at the focal point of Downtown Brooklyn's ongoing development boom," said Aaron Appel of Walker & Dunlop. "Having played a part in financing nearly 35% of Downtown Brooklyn's recent developments, we are proud to add this one to the list."

The impressive jewel-box retail site on the Western parcel will offer nearly 14,000 square feet of retail space next to Albee Square. With a commanding presence overlooking the public area, the retail space is poised to attract the most high-quality brands looking to establish or strengthen their foothold in Brooklyn.
The prime location between Fulton Street and Dekalb Avenue will allow for prospective retailers to adorn the façade of what will become the most desirable single-tenant retail space in Downtown Brooklyn. Witkoff and ARI's ability to activate the unique two parcel development site ensures the future success of The Brook as the surrounding neighborhood continues to benefit from tremendous population and employment growth.
