Realty Collective Opening New, Shared Office on Van Brunt

Via a post on the real estate firm Realty Collective’s blog, we learn the following:

Realty Collective announced it will be opening its third office May 19th at 351 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn. In keeping with its mission of promoting local business and sustainable practices, the residential and commercial real estate brokerage will engage in a shared space model with Gallery Brooklyn, designed to add value to the community, increase street traffic and showcase artists from Brooklyn. The 351 Van Brunt Street gallery and business space, Gallery Brooklyn and RC Red Hook will open with group exhibition “Lightness, Being,” curated by Trong Nguyen, showcasing three NYC-based artists – painter Jon Elliot, photographer Rebecca Reeve and sculptor Judith Braun – that will run May 19th through June 30th. “We are passionate about Red Hook. I live here, and Realty Collective works with many clients looking to buy, sell and rent homes and business spaces in Red Hook. We’ve been looking for a storefront location that would meet both our goals of easy accessibility to those in the area, and would fit our business model of community engagement and sustainability,” said Victoria Hagman, Founder, Realty Collective.

The storefront in question used to be home to Everbrite Mercantile Co., a gift shop that closed its bricks-and-mortar operation after being in business for a little more than a year.
