Gotham Organization’s Brooklyn roots run deep
Eye On Real Estate
The developer of The Ashland, the Brooklyn Cultural District’s glam new apartment tower, has Brooklyn roots that run deep.
“My great-grandfather built the Brooklyn Post Office,” David Picket, president of Gotham Organization, said in a recent interview.
His great-grandfather was Nathan Picket, who founded the family business as a construction company in 1913.
Over the decades, the Pickets’ company has alternated its focus between contracting and development.
