In March 2016, Charney Companies purchased the site of the Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburg, Brooklyn for $80 million. [8] The firm later announced that it planned to fully restore the 112-year-old neoclassical landmark bank and also construct a 23-story tall residential, office and retail tower behind the bank. [9] The project was completed, and leasing began in 2020. [10] Charney collaborated with Tom Fruin and Swoon to commission lobby art work and exterior murals for the Dime Savings Bank project. [11] The Dime is also home to the largest publicly accessible EV charging hub in New York, run by Revel. [12]

The firm purchased 585 Union Street in January 2020. [13] Charney Co. then purchased 251 Douglass St. in April 2020 for $22.5 million, with the firm later receiving financing from Barings LLC to expand the site. [14] Construction broke ground for the 15-story Douglass St. building in November 2023. [15]

In May 2023, Charney Co. broke ground on 310 and 340 Nevins Street, a two-building residential project in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Plans for the 600,000 square-foot complex include: 654 rental units, ground-floor retail space, and a public waterfront esplanade designed by James Corner field opps. [18]
