From the August issue: After three generations in Manhattan real estate, Rose Associates is
crossing the bridge into Brooklyn. The firm has been named the
exclusive leasing agent for three Williamsburg properties: 184 Kent
Avenue, 34 Berry and 309 Wythe Avenue. Rose will also be managing the
latter two buildings, along with Oro at 306 Gold Street in Downtown
Brooklyn and 80 DeKalb in Fort Greene. The assignments mean Rose will
be the leasing agent for more than 500 Brooklyn units.
“Rose hasn’t made the decision to go to Brooklyn specifically,”
said Robert Scaglion, senior managing director of residential marketing
at Rose. “Our clients are expanding into Brooklyn and have asked us to
provide the Rose level of service for developments in Brooklyn.”
Rose has been managing and marketing projects for third parties for
about 10 years, something Scaglion said is unique among New York’s
“old-line” real estate dynasty families.
