Commercial Complex

Bringing life to a desolate industrial block is always a challenge. The conceptual urban masterplan for this large parcel constitutes the feasibility study for the modernization and re-use of an entire industrial block on the industrial outskirts of the historical Clinton Hill neighborhood and in close proximity to the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a commercial complex by examining the physical and financial possibilities of converting multiple abandoned warehouses into a unified mixed-use complex of commercial, industrial, storage, and public facilities.

The concept for this project, given its massive scale and impact, was to create a linear promenade that could visually unify the hall from Flushing Avenue to Park Avenue and conceptually connect it to the lively, booming Myrtle Avenue. This allows pedestrians to flow along a safe route to the once-desolate area. The incorporation of a major bank and retail venues will also encourage more residents to move to this area, further transforming the neighborhood while keeping true to its industrial roots.
