Much of the recent real estate activity in Dumbo has centered on Jehovah’s Witnesses selling off its vast holdings in the neighborhood. Aby Rosen recently paid $135 million for the church’s former hotel at 90 Sands Street, and Kushner Companies, CIM Group and LIVWRK are planning a 21-story residential building at the church’s former site at 85 Jay Street.
