Breaking Ground: OTL Takes Brooklyn

OTL has built in Brooklyn before, but our presence in New York's largest borough has never been stronger. With three projects set to take place over the next two years, OTL is ramping up operations across the river. Each of these diverse projects presents unique challenges for the firm and tackling them has required a great deal of pre-construction planning. Some site work has already been completed and we are excited to get these projects fully underway. Look out for "In Progress" web updates as these projects forge ahead.

This corner lot, previously occupied by a gas station, presented unique approval and logistical challenges. OTL teams up with Avery Hall Investments for this development and enlisted BKSK Architect's to stitch the design into the architectural fabric of the landmark Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights neighborhoods. Recently profiled in the New York Times, this building is destined to be an icon.

This pair of modern townhouses will bring eight new residences to the up and coming Columbia Waterfront neighborhood. The foundations will include piles drilled 100 feet deep because of the soft shale soil in the area. This job presents OTL and partner Avery Hall Investments with big challenges in a compact package.

This joint venture project with DelShah Capital is currently on the drawing board and the office is busy with pre-construction activities. This twenty-two story project is sure to make a splash on the Downtown Brooklyn landscape. We are particularly excited about partnering with an esteemed community organization to provide a new rehabilitation facility on the ground floor.
