NEW YORK CITY-As part of a city initiative to utilize space it owns more efficiently, United American Land has been selected as the developer for 210 Joralemon St., the Brooklyn Municipal Building in Downtown Brooklyn. UAL, which is currently planning a 594,000 square foot development at 505 Fulton St., will develop 49,000 square feet of retail space at the Brooklyn Municipal Building.
