Apartments planned at Harte & Co. factory site
Arte Moderne Greenpoint Waterfront Property Is Sold to Developer Bo Jin Zhu
Prepare to say So long to an iconic – and pollution-plagued – Greenpoint waterfront industrial property, the former Harte & Co. factory building.
The sale of the 1930s-vintage Arte Moderne property at 280 Franklin St. has closed – and the buyer plans to build a 400-unit apartment building with 200 parking spaces, Berel Nagel of Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates, who served as the broker for buyer and seller, told the Brooklyn Eagle.
The distinctive curved-front building made of yellow bricks and glass blocks is much admired by preservationists, but is not landmarked.
