In July, Adam America Real Estate and Slate Property Group were in contract to acquire the development assemblage at 8-16 Nevins Street, in Downtown Brooklyn, and now the team has closed on the purchase, according to Crain’s. The developers paid $47.75 million for the site, and Vanke, a Chinese developer, is partnering to build a 33-story, 150-unit residential building. The tower will total 180,000 square feet, and retail space is also likely planned. Construction is expected to begin early next year, although multiple low-rise buildings must first be demolished.

Over a year ago, Forest City Ratner placed their Downtown Brooklyn development site, at 625 Fulton Street, on the market, and now Rabsky Group has agreed to purchase the property for $158 million, according to Commercial Observer. The site contains 600,000 square feet of development rights, and a residential tower is most likely, although plans for the site remain undisclosed. Until last year, the site was home to a seven-story, 359,000 square-foot office building.
