Boston Properties and Rudin Development Announce Food 52 to Relocate New York City Offices to Dock 72 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard - Seite 2

"Being at the forefront of the food industry and digital content, Food52's new space at the Navy Yard will offer its employees access to the state-of-the-art amenities at Dock 72 while allowing the media site to expand operations," said David Ehrenberg, President and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. "Food52 is one of the latest additions to the Yard's robust industrial ecosystem that enables food and beverage manufacturing companies to thrive by fostering collaboration and innovation."

Opened in October 2019, Dock 72 was the first major ground-up commercial office building to be constructed in Brooklyn in over a decade. Originally a former shipbuilding facility, the site has been reinvented as an innovative and collaborative workspace. Co-developed by Rudin Development, BXP and WeWork, the 16-story, 675,000 square-foot office building integrates state-of-the-art class-A office infrastructure with a unique design that honors the Navy Yard’s maritime history.

The building features massive, column-free workspaces with 14-foot ceilings and expanses of glass, which allow for an abundance of daylight and fresh air throughout the building. Surrounded by water on three sides, Dock 72 was designed by S9 Architecture, Perkins Eastman and Fogarty Finger Architects and offers 16,000 square feet of outdoor terraces in addition to a large waterfront open space to create a unique indoor-outdoor working environment with unobstructed harbor views across Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens.

Employees and guests of Food52 will benefit from Dock 72’s expansive 35,000 square feet of diverse amenities, which includes a rooftop conference center and ground floor food hall managed by FLIK Hospitality and Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events, a state-of-the-art health and wellness center, an open lawn and basketball court and an on-site bike valet, among others. Food52 will also have access to the Dock 72 mobile app, which expedites access to the building and all amenities and provides real-time transit updates.

Dock 72 and the Navy Yard are served by a wide array of multimodal transportation, including a NYC Ferry stop just steps from the building, onsite parking, CitiBike access, bus service, and WiFi-equipped shuttle service to major subway lines.

Food52’s new lease coincides with the Navy Yard’s $1 billion expansion, which has helped transform the Yard into Brooklyn’s preeminent tech and innovation hub. The expansion includes Building 77, a one million-square-foot property adjacent to Dock 72, which recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation featuring a food manufacturing hub on the ground floor. Other recent projects include the redevelopment of Admiral’s Row, which is anchored by a 74,000 square-foot Wegmans Supermarket, and the expansion of Steiner Studios, NYC’s largest and most successful film and television studio.
