Decade Answers: Franklin Zuckerbrot
Franklin Zuckerbrot is the president of Sholom & Zuckerbrot Realty LLC, Long Island City, N.Y.
What was one of your corporate or career highlights of the decade?
The most memorable career experience of the decade was our assemblage of a former 5 1/2 acre industrial property located at the intersections of the Brooklyn communities of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Williamsburg and Fort Greene. Over a five year period, we re-developed the property into "DeKalb Plaza" which today is the site of a top-performing 130,000 s/f Home Depot Store and a 63,000 s/f U.S. Department of Labor Job Corps Vocational School. Working closely with the local community groups, politicians, U.S. Government and representatives of a large national retailer to make this happen was certainly a unique challenge for us.
