DKC PR is repping Forest City Ratner Cos. $4B deal with Shanghai-based Greenland Group Co. to unload a majority stake in its 22-acre Atlantic Yards residential/commercial development in Brooklyn.

The deal for the 15-tower project (6,400 apartment units) ranks as the largest commercial real estate transaction in the U.S. for a Chinese company.

Greenland CEO Zhang Yuliang said in a statement

that "Brooklyn has become an international brand because it symbolizes how the old and the new can exist together, creating a dynamic environment for people to live and work.”

As 70 percent owner of Atlantic Yards, Yuliang is excited about the prospect of working with FCRC to develop the complex.

He’s eager to “build sustainable, well-designed housing to meet the needs of diverse groups of people.”

The transaction does not include Barclay’s Center, home of the NBA Brooklyn Nets and soon-to-be arena for the NHL’s Islanders.

FCRC and Russian billionaire/Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov own that facility.

DKC’s Joe DePlasco handles PR for FCRC.

Greenland, in July, invested $1B in a downtown Los Angeles hotel/residential complex.
