THE O’CONNELL ORGANIZATION™

Our mission is to acquire, redevelop and manage property while preserving its historic value and utilizing its inherent attributes for the betterment of the community.  We seek to ensure that Red Hook, Brooklyn is considered one of the premier waterfront destinations in New York Harbor.

Supporting the local community is a core part of our mission. In addition to providing over 20,000 square feet of warehouse space free of charge to the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition for over a decade, we have provided free space for Red Hook Rise, Dance Theatre Etc. and the Waterfront Museum & Showboat Barge, local non-profits that offer arts, education and recreation programs for neighborhood’s substantial youth population.  We also have made it a point to support organizations such as Red Hook Initiative, The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, Added Value,  Red Hook Films, The Red Hook Criterium and Celebrate Brooklyn.
