Multifamily & Affordable
Multifamily Luxury + Affordable Rental
Techmenity was hired by the Witkoff group to bridge gaps between multiple stakeholders during the transition from construction to leasing and move-in at The Brook, a 51-story residential rental building in downtown Brooklyn. The property includes 591 units, 178 of which are designated as affordable through the 421-a(16) Program.
Our role was to ensure all technology systems, from AV and IT to building management and communications, were fully operational for residents, staff, and offices, while also establishing a long-term network strategy (Digital Foundation™).
