Industry City is the largest of several innovation hubs along Brooklyn’s re-developed waterfront. Bold way-finding graphics evoke the complex’s neo-industrial ethos and create a strong sense of place, while connecting the disparate structures within the massive campus. The Food Hall provides a communal site for interaction among tenants, and a gourmet destination for area residents. Raised sidewalks along loading docks, safer crossings on busy Third Avenue, and an enhanced Second Avenue streetscape are human-scale, pedestrian-friendly modifications that improve circulation, link with public transportation, and leverage proximity to nearby Piers Park and the waterfront. Innovation Alley, an experiential passageway framed with industrial ‘wickets’, connects the site’s primary finger-like buildings, and creates public courtyards and event spaces from the loading bays between them.
Versatile light manufacturing space was created from the existing industrial-scale floor plates on the buildings’ upper floors, with retail and public amenities at street level.
Industry City is now home to over 400 local businesses, anchor-scale retail tenants, an Innovation Lab providing job training in emerging industries, a 40,000-sf Food Hall, office space, and a training facility for the Brooklyn Nets. S9 Architecture masterplanned the 30-acre, 6.5 million-sf campus in partnership with Perkins Eastman, and adapted its 16 industrial buildings for contemporary reuse. Developer Jamestown Properties envisioned Industry City as an ecosystem of innovation, a synergistic space where New York City’s makers, artisans, small businesses and digital enterprises could create and collaborate. S9 Architecture led the conversion of a former distribution facility along the Brooklyn waterfront into Industry City, a hotbed for innovation, collaboration, and community that’s reinventing urban manufacturing for the 21st century.
