Madison Square Boys & Girls Club and Alloy Development have announced a partnership to reestablish after-school services at the Navy Yard Clubhouse, located at 240 Nassau Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. This development follows Alloy’s acquisition of the property for $15 million and a $2 million donation to facilitate the temporary resumption of these important community services.
The Brooklyn-based developer plans to engage with residents of the nearby Farragut, Whitman, and Ingersoll houses to gather input on the future development of the site. This process will include discussions about the long-term use of the property, including a permanent community facility space operated based on local feedback.

“When we recently had to close our Clubhouse due to the necessary sale of the building, we hoped to find a buyer that felt a connection to the community and would be committed to reestablishing services for youth in the Navy Yard area,” said Tim McChristian, executive director of Madison Square Boys & Girls Club. “We are thrilled that Alloy, a company that has already shown a great commitment to Brooklyn, has stepped up to play this important role for local residents.”
Alloy’s involvement in the community extends beyond this partnership. The company is currently working on the Alloy Block project in Downtown Brooklyn, which includes the construction of the city’s first two Passive House public schools, the new Khalil Gibran International Academy high school and a new public elementary school.
The restoration of after-school programming at the Navy Yard Clubhouse is expected to commence early next year.
