Charney Companies is growing both its leadership and footprint with key hires and an expanded office, with its development, management and brokerage sectors all scaling up. Based in Long Island City, the firm’s quarters at 5-26 46th Ave. Suite 2A, are now a duplex, reaching 10,000 square feet total. The firm has also undergone a creative rebranding under the direction of Justin Thomas Kay’s JTK Studio.
“We view real estate through a lens of public good and strive to cultivate beauty and equity in our developments. Expanded growth gives us additional opportunities to improve the quality and quantity of housing available for New Yorkers, and that is a responsibility we take very seriously,” said Sam Charney, principal, Charney Companies. “I’m proud of the entire team for the drive and passion they bring to work every day, which has allowed us to grow while maintaining a shared deep respect for the work we all love.”
Recent new hires include Rosie Tilley as head of development. Tilley previously led residential development for Google and Lendlease’s joint venture master plan in Mountain View, California.
The team now manages over 500,000 square feet of commercial real estate and 15 residential properties in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. An additional two to three hires are anticipated before the end of the year, with the imminent arrival of 585 Union St., the first of four Gowanus Wharf buildings being built by Charney to reach completion.
