Red Hook industrialist has big plans for Prospect Park’s former Kensington Stables
John Quadrozzi Jr. hopes to bring back historic days of equestrian glory
He makes his living from cement, but he loves horses.
As proud new owner of the historic former Kensington Stables, John Quadrozzi Jr., president of the GBX–Gowanus Bay Terminal on the industrial Red Hook waterfront, has a dream.
Quadrozzi intends to bring back the historic business, located on the edge of Prospect Park, and turn it into a state-of-the-art horse facility, with boarding, equestrian apparel and tack outfitting, a coffee and tea spot and a multiuse room for equine education, entertainment and events.
