After 3 years, HPD has finally picked a winner for the Greenpoint Hospital affordable housing redevelopment, and it goes to… no one from North Brooklyn. TNS Development – the winning bidder – has done a fair number of projects in NYC, including a 31-unit affordable housing project on Myrtle Avenue in Bed-Stuy and a bunch of other affordable housing projects in Harlem and the Bronx.

(And by “upstate”, the Brooklyn Paper means Westchester County. Mt. Vernon, actually – about as downstate as you can get without being in Yonkers. And their partner construction firm is based out of College Point.)
