Charney Companies
Charney Companies is an American fully-integrated real estate development, brokerage and management firm with headquarters in Long Island City, New York. Founded in 2013 by Sam Charney,[1] the company has developed and operates over two million square feet of mixed-use, mixed income residential, and retail properties throughout the New York metropolitan area.[2]
History[edit]
After working as a project executive at Two Trees Management for eight years, Sam Charney founded the firm in 2013.[3]
In March 2016, Charney Companies purchased the site of the Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburg, Brooklyn for $80 million.[4] The firm later announced that it planned to fully restore the 112-year-old neoclassical landmark bank and also construct a 23-story tall residential, office and retail tower behind the bank.[5] The project was completed, and leasing began in 2020.[6] Charney collaborated with Tom Fruin and Swoon to commission lobby art work and exterior murals for the Dime Savings Bank project.[7] The Dime is also home to the largest publicly accessible EV charging hub in New York, run by Revel.[8]
In May 2023, Charney Co. broke ground on 310 and 340 Nevins Street, a two-building residential project in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Plans for the 600,000 square-foot complex include: 654 rental units, ground-floor retail space, and a public waterfront esplanade designed by James Corner field opps.[9]
585 Union Street, a nine-story mixed-use building designed by Fogarty Finger Architects, topped out in November 2023. Managed by Charney Co., the development is part of the larger Gowanus Wharf campus, which also includes the Nevins property.[10]
In March 2024, the firm acquired 99 Claremont in Morningside Heights, with plans to convert the property into off-campus student housing for Columbia University.[11]
