Brooklyn Law School has sold a downtown Brooklyn office building to a group of investors for $76.5 million. The move is the latest in the school’s multi-year plan to sell off its extensive real estate holdings amid the borough’s hot market, in order to bolster its finances.
The sale of One Boerum Place, along with the 2015 sale of the school’s residential property at 2 Pierrepont St. for $35 million, will raise its endowment to $225 million—double what it was five years ago. The school’s 22-story student residence Feil Hall, which opened in 2005, negated the need for the school to retain so many properties, said law dean Nicholas Allard.
