A C&W team of James Nelson, Brendan Maddigan and Matt Nickerson represented Dime in the transaction, while the buyers did not have a broker.

Sam Charney, the principle of Charney Construction & Development, declined to comment on the transaction. It was not immediately clear what the developers have planned for the site.  

“The site is one of the most visible and will be a game-changer for the area offering a mix of retail, residential and office, which is greatly needed in the area,” Mr. Nelson said in a prepared statement.

The buildings are currently used as the primary back office operations center for Dime, according to the firm. The company will relocate its employees from the properties in 2017, as CO previously reported.  

Dime did not shed its headquarters at 209 Havemeyer Street between South 4th and South 5th Streets at the foot of the Williamsburgh Bridge in the transaction.
