With urban manufacturing experiencing a renaissance, there is an increasing need for cities to provide affordable industrial space. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Master Plan has set out a vision for creating new vertical manufacturing space which would increase job count at the Yard to 30,000 in the coming years. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) commissioned WXY to develop the plan, which envisions more than 5 million square feet of new space. BNYDC has relied largely on the adaptive reuse of the Yard’s historic buildings, which are now 99 percent leased.
