As a part of our ongoing community efforts, Goldstein Hall joins volunteer activities, sponsors organizations, participates in boards and committees and provides support to vital neighborhood organizations that align with our mission and values. At Goldstein Hall we believe that investing in positive change provides immeasurable returns.
Lemle & Wolff recently completed the acquisition and revitalization of a large distressed portfolio in the South Bronx. It was one of the most challenging projects in the firm’s 75-year history. Goldstein Hall helped us devise creative solutions for this effort. For five years, they were an integral part of our successful redevelopment team.
