Development Team
Alloy previously partnered with ECF to develop the Alloy Block project in Downtown Brooklyn, which included two new public schools: a new Khalil Gibran Academy high school and a new public elementary school. Both are now open. GFB Development was launched in 2024 by 16-year NBA veteran Taj Gibson alongside his lifelong friends Tameek Floyd and Malik Brown. Inspired by their experiences growing up in Ingersoll Houses, they founded the firm to provide stability and safe spaces – including affordable housing and recreational spaces – to historically underserved communities, including in their own neighborhood. Floyd and Brown attended PS 287 and were members of the Boys & Girls Club Navy Yard Clubhouse.
