The firm's jump across the river is in partnership with Compass agent Carl Gambino on a portfolio of five properties that will launch in the next two years. For Eckstrom, the expansion comes after an ascendant two years developing homes in Brooklyn's toniest neighborhoods. The company, which began by doing condo conversions in more affordable parts of Brooklyn, found a niche turning multifamily properties in Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill into high-end townhomes.

The units are at the center of an ownership dispute between Harry Macklowe and CIM Group. Macklowe had lost the condos last year when he defaulted on the mortgages he took out from CIM to buy the units. The developer paid about $47 million for the units along with a smaller pad on the 28th floor, which is not included in the latest sale. Serhant's Glenn Davis and Nicholas Compagnone had the off-market listing. The buyer was 78 Purchaser LLC.
