Samuel Gutierrez+FollowHow one man transformed Red Hook foreverGregory O’Connell’s vision turned Red Hook from a forgotten industrial zone into a thriving Brooklyn community. Instead of chasing quick profits, he focused on balance—bringing in jobs, affordable food, and real opportunities for locals. Remember the Fairway in that old warehouse? That was O’Connell’s doing. He even stood up to corruption and supported tenants after Hurricane Sandy with rent breaks and loans. His legacy isn’t just in buildings, but in the lives he touched and the neighborhood he helped shape. What do you think Red Hook would look like today without his influence? #Business #RedHook #Brooklyn00Share
