About South Brooklyn

This area of Brooklyn is a historically industrial zone on New York Harbor. In recent years there has been a revitalization push in buildings like Industry City, the Brooklyn Army Terminal, and Liberty View Industrial Plaza in Sunset Park, which have been retrofitted to accommodate new businesses. The renovations will provide millions of square feet for industrial, manufacturing, and startup tenants, and will create public areas and retail space on the ground floors.

These revitalization efforts have been aided by the creation of an Industrial Business Zone near the waterfront areas of Red Hook and Sunset Park. Businesses that relocate to these areas receive various benefits from New York City, including tax credits through the Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP).

The largest industrial tenants in this area of Brooklyn are largely storage, restaurant, and food logistics occupiers. Though it's close to JFK Airport, being across the harbor from shipping terminals in Newark means limited demand from distributors looking to service the Tri-State area. However, proximity to residents of Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Queens remains a key draw to the area.
