Context

First Floor

The first floor will accommodate an inviting and dynamic 7,000 square feet of open space adjacent to Second Avenue. The large open space would be flexible and can be adapted to a multitude of activities. We plan to partner with local community organizations like the Brooklyn Arts Council, which can showcase the work of local artists in this space, providing them with a large audience, and benefitting from the potential of future waterfront development.

Second Floor

At the second floor, the front face of the building will house an adaptable space which can function in various forms, such as a meeting space for community board meetings, weekend local markets to showcase things made in the Sunset Park neighborhood or as an installation space for artists, or for the tenants themselves. The main tenant would occupy half of the remaining floor space, including workshop and training spaces. The other half will have two tenant spaces.

Third, Fourth and Fifth Floor

Third, fourth and fifth floors will all have flexible rentable spaces, which can be divided or adjoined per a tenant’s space requirements, ensuring efficient space utilization. The fifth floor will have an open floor plan, with coworking spaces. This kind of workplace design is more suited for firms where the nature of the work involves more desk work and less prototyping or machine use.

Rooftop

The roof space will be leased out to urban farms such as Gotham Greens, which can supply food to upcoming hotel and retail scenes on the Brooklyn waterfront. The remainder of roof space will house solar panels to help offset some of the energy costs of the building.
