Bklyn Gold,
257 Gold Street

Lalezarian Properties is a family-owned real estate development and management firm founded in 1981 by Frank Lalezarian. Based on Long Island with headquarters in Lake Success, it now oversees roughly 21 New York City properties and over 2,250 apartments across Manhattan and Brooklyn. One of its notable projects is BKLYN Gold, a luxury apartment complex in Downtown Brooklyn. The BKLYN Gold leasing office manages two modern adjacent residential towers at 257 and 277 Gold Street. Built in 2010, the twin towers have a glass-and-limestone facade and offer upscale apartments with built-in tech wiring, in-unit washers/dryers, and many homes featuring private terraces. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities: a 24-hour concierge, skylit indoor swimming pool, fitness center, resident lounge, landscaped roof decks and parking. The complex is pet-friendly and even includes all utilities in the rent; its leasing policy waives typical fees like broker, pet or move-in charges to simplify renting.

In addition to BKLYN Gold, Lalezarian's portfolio is concentrated on elevator apartment buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, supplemented by a handful of office and retail holdings. For example, the 13-story BKLYN Gold tower at 257 Gold Street in Downtown Brooklyn was completed in 2010 and designed by Avinash K. Malhotra. Its tiered balconies broaden on upper floors, creating a dynamic facade. The building's modern glass-and-limestone exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows have been highlighted in marketing materials, underscoring Lalezarian's focus on natural light and contemporary design. At the same time, Lalezarian emphasizes renter-friendly living across its portfolio: utilities are bundled in rent and common move-in fees are waived, creating a hassle-free experience. Together, these qualities reflect the company's philosophy of blending luxury design with convenience in key urban neighborhoods.
