The firm accepted a $75 million acquisition loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

Brookfield acquired two development parcels along Commercial Street, part of the 22-acre Greenpoint Landing development, on Oct. 19 from Park Tower Group. One of the two sites sold for $59.8 million, and the other for $46.5 million, according to property records.
