A rendering of Red Hoek Point in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK CITY—Thor Equities has tapped CBRE to market its new 750,000-square-foot office development to be built in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.

The project has been named “Red Hoek Point” in deference to the area's early Dutch settlers who named the peninsula “Roode Hoek” for its rich red soil and hook-shaped land mass. Thor announced plans for the Brooklyn development back in June.

The 7.7-acre site will feature two light-filled, timber-frame buildings totaling more than 750,000 square feet of creative office space, and 23,000 square feet of retail and restaurants. A new waterfront esplanade, designed by SCAPE/Landscape Architecture, will link the site to the Brooklyn Greenway. A CBRE team led by Peter Turchin, Ross Zimbalist, Ben Fastenberg, Zak Snider and Caroline Merck was awarded the agency leasing assignment.

“This unique waterfront development is a great campus opportunity—which we see primarily on the West Coast— and will put Red Hook on the map in a way never seen before,” states Turchin, vice chairman, CBRE Agency Group. “Red Hoek Point offers massive 125,000-square-foot floor plates with expansive lines of sight to create a new type of collaborative work environment.”

Red Hoek Point will be served by direct water taxi access. Foster + Partners' design for the campus will feature two, 1.8-acre green rooftops with walking/meeting trails for tenants and a central open courtyard between the two low-rise buildings. Foster + Partners is the architect of the London “Gherkin” as well as Manhattan's Hearst Tower and 425 Park Ave., which is now in construction.
