From old factory to modern office: the Brooklyn turning point
Who said that the present cannot be revolutionized from the past? This is well known by the experts of our team, who have found an interesting novelty. We have decided to share with you, a case object of our analysis. A case that we will call '' Brooklyn ''. This is an interesting revolutionary project, which involves the total transformation of an old Brooklyn factory into offices. It is the oldest naval factory in the whole of the United States. In short, a beautiful historical gem, but which has brought to light an innovative project. So, if you are ready and want to know more, we can inaugurate our daily column, Only for you and always with the freshest news from the world of real estate!
Brooklyn Navy Yard is over 150 years old. Thanks to it, the nation's most famous warships were built. Naming them all would be a challenge, but they remember the USS Maine, the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri. In short, this factory represented the beating heart of the US naval industry and seemed destined to disappear with the end of the war. But this did not happen. To give the splendor and importance that a similar structure deserves, it was decided to reinvent it. In fact, today the Navy has been the subject of an ambitious project: its transformation into an industrial park dedicated to urban development. The end ? Creating innovative companies for a total of 450 names that can employ over 11 thousand individuals in the world of work. An induced amount of two and a half billion (US dollars) per year is assumed.
The factory will be reinvented in new offices, but also coworking spaces (very popular in the States) and studios for artists. In short, a multifaceted project for a structure that has made history. And he probably wants to keep writing it!
The main building has retained its historic charm. A sort of homage to history. In fact, the facade has remained intact, totally covered with bricks. The sides of the building instead presented a light color. Nothing is left to chance. In fact, the lower structures, connected with the outside and green spaces, are surrounded by gravel and plants. In line with the current of green building that is now depopulating in the construction and real estate sector.
There is no shortage of clear re-enactments of the typical Brooklyn style. Among them we remember the materials and patterns used. The floors are in fact covered with concrete and metal slabs, the exposed bricks and columns in the open spaces give a rustic style to the entire building. In short, a perfect combination of ancient and modern, without forgetting some style details. For the spaces dedicated entirely to business, there are meeting rooms and even a small kitchen. Maybe to make the lucky workers take away some whim?
In short, we at Realigro are proud of this rebirth. And you, what do you think?
