New Tenants Bolster Sunset Park’s Working Waterfront, Driving Quality Jobs, Innovation, and Inclusive Growth — Further Cementing Its Role as a Hub for Industry

BROOKLYN, NY—New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) today announced the addition of five new tenants at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) and MADE Bush Terminal, marking another major milestone in the City’s ongoing investment in Sunset Park’s working waterfront and industrial future. Together, these tenants activate over 66,000 square feet, bringing a diverse mix of manufacturing, design, and mission‑driven companies to the two city‑owned waterfront campuses—strengthening a growing ecosystem that supports local jobs, emerging industries, and long‑term economic resilience in South Brooklyn. This year marks 40 years since NYCEDC began managing BAT, during which time the City has invested in modernizing the campus through a variety of ways including improved wayfinding, expanded leasable space, enhanced open spaces and critical infrastructure, and strengthened connectivity.

NYCEDC’s Sunset Park District spans 200 acres of the South Brooklyn waterfront and includes four major industrial campuses—the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT), South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT), MADE Bush Terminal, and the Brooklyn Wholesale Meat Market (BWMM). This announcement builds on Sunset Park’s industrial legacy and NYCEDC’s commitment to modernizing historic assets and driving industrial growth, innovation, job creation, and community-centered economic development. Built along the New York Harbor during World War I and later used as a base for the United States Army, BAT has been reimagined over decades into a modern center of economic activity.

“Sunset Park has been a manufacturing hub for generations, and these new tenants are proof that its best days are still ahead,” said Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani. “From clean tech to creative production, Brooklyn Army Terminal and MADE Bush Terminal are drawing the kinds of businesses that create good jobs and strengthen our industrial base for the long term.”

“Sixty-six thousand square feet of activated industrial space means workforce opportunity, supply chain resilience, and economic growth that reaches the neighborhoods that need it most,” said Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su. “Sunset Park has always had the talent and the infrastructure—we're making sure it has the investment to match.”

“These new tenants reflect the momentum we continue to build across Sunset Park’s working waterfront—where investment in industrial space translates into good jobs, innovation, and equitable, long‑term economic opportunity for New Yorkers,” said NYCEDC Interim President & CEO Jeanny Pak. “By activating more than 66,000 square feet at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and MADE Bush Terminal, we’re strengthening a thriving industrial ecosystem that supports manufacturers, mission‑driven companies, and the local community—cementing Sunset Park’s role as a cornerstone of New York City’s industrial future.”

At BAT, NYCEDC finalized new leases with four companies, further expanding a campus that already hosts more than 100 tenants and employs 3,500 New Yorkers. Together, these tenants represent over 58,000 rentable square feet of newly leased space to date in 2026. The historic, 59-acre, City-owned campus plays a vital role in the city’s industrial ecosystem, supporting a range of dynamic industries, from cutting-edge manufacturing and food production to upcycling and climate tech prototyping. The new tenants include:

MADE Bush Terminal

NYCEDC announced a new lease signing with Makelab at MADE Bush Terminal, a hub for creative manufacturing, design, and production industries located on Brooklyn’s scenic waterfront in Sunset Park. Makelab—a Brooklyn-based on-demand 3D printing service for rapid prototyping, medical models, and production parts—signed a 5‑year lease for 3,840 rentable square feet on the 5th floor of MADE. Together, with the existing MADE tenants, this new announcement represents 23,000 of rentable square feet of newly leased space, underscoring MADE’s increasing appeal to forward-thinking design and fabrication companies drawn to its collaborative environment and state-of-the-art facilities.

Last November, NYCEDC announced three new lease signings at MADE Bush Terminal with tenants PELLE, Aripack, and MushLume. Each company brings a sophisticated, design-centric approach that blends creativity with technical expertise, reinforcing MADE’s mission to support the next generation of makers shaping the future of urban industry.

“Audible Difference was founded in Brooklyn, and our move to the Brooklyn Army Terminal marks an important step in deepening those roots,” said Audible Difference Principal Erich Bechtel. “As a Brooklyn-based company, BAT represents the kind of industrial, creative ecosystem that shaped us—allowing us to expand our work while continuing to design and deliver world-class audiovisual experiences from the community that defines who we are.”

“EcoLogic Solutions is proud to join the BAT campus and continue building our clean technology and sustainable chemistry platform here in New York City. For more than two decades, our mission has been to help high-consuming businesses replace harsh chemicals and wasteful practices with safer, more effective, environmentally preferable solutions,” said EcoLogic Solutions Founder and CEO Anselm Doering. “BAT gives us the opportunity to expand manufacturing, create quality jobs across a wide range of skill sets, and further advance our work at the intersection of clean technology, cleaner chemistry, and social and environmental impact. We are excited to partner with NYCEDC and be part of a campus that supports innovation, local job creation, and the future of sustainable manufacturing in Brooklyn.”

“New York City has a package problem—stolen deliveries, missed drop-offs, and delivery trucks idling on every block. As part of the LockerNYC program anchored by the NYC Department of Transportation, GoLocker is changing that through a network of intelligent lockers that give New Yorkers a smarter, more secure way to send and receive packages—while cutting the congestion and emissions that come with last-mile delivery,” said GoLocker Founder Nigel Thomas. “We're expanding that mission by partnering with residential property owners to install lockers at no cost, making secure package access a free amenity for residents and the public alike. Brooklyn Army Terminal is the perfect home base for a company committed to building the infrastructure this city deserves, and we're proud to join its legacy of businesses shaping New York's future.”

“We are looking forward to our expansion in Brooklyn at the BAT campus. Otto Nemenz International Inc., is growing to accommodate our clients’ needs across their favorite locations—Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York City—for their films, shows, commercials, documentaries, and other filming ventures,” said Otto Nemenz International, Inc. CEO Nevin Sanli. “BAT was the best option for us and their leasing team is terrific. Established in 1979, the firm has had amazing success. Our 2nd Chapter has just begun under new leadership and unmatched technical expertise. Just watch us; you ‘gonna’ love it!”

“Joining MADE Bush Terminal is a huge milestone for Makelab. We’re excited to be part of a campus that supports growing Brooklyn businesses and gives us the space to keep expanding our production capabilities,” said Makelab Co-Founder & CEO Christina Perla. “We’re looking forward to building alongside the other tenants and becoming part of the community. Time to up our 3D printing production output by another 5x!”

“We are thrilled to launch climate programming at the temporary home for BATWorks, showcasing innovation between the nation’s two largest cities. As the climate program operator, we are already extending LACI’s national programs to New York City and BAT—including the National Coalition of Clean Energy Incubators, the LACI Debt Fund, and the City Climate Innovation Challenge,” said LACI SVP of BATWorks Alex Mitchell. “As we drive future programming through public-private partnerships, workforce development, and support for underrepresented founders, we look forward to collaborating with new tenants like GoLocker and Ecologic Solutions that underscore Sunset Park’s growing industrial cleantech ecosystem, creating more employment opportunities locally.”

Located at the heart of Brooklyn’s historic waterfront, MADE Bush Terminal—short for Manufacturers, Artisans, Designers, and Entrepreneurs—is redefining what manufacturing can look like in New York City. The reimagined campus features 140,000 square feet of modern industrial workspace, 30,000 square feet dedicated to cultural and public programming, and five acres of new parkland and open space, integrating industry, creativity, and community engagement. Last December, NYCEDC launched a new cultural partnership with Public Service to re-envision a 1,000-capacity venue within MADE, that will feature dynamic programming spanning live music, large-scale art installations, and public and private event typologies.

At MADE, NYCEDC is also opening the shoreline to Sunset Park residents and New Yorkers for the first time in decades, creating new opportunities for recreation and connection to the water with the reconstruction of Pier 6. Looking ahead, NYCEDC will advance the next phase of development by reimagining Building C for manufacturing, light industrial, and public‑serving uses—further strengthening MADE’s role as a driver of inclusive economic opportunity in Brooklyn.

By curating a mix of craft-based and high-tech tenants, NYCEDC aims to empower small businesses and give rise to a new generation of producers contributing to the city’s sustainable growth. The redevelopment of MADE builds on a larger effort to revitalize Sunset Park’s waterfront as one of New York City’s most dynamic manufacturing corridors anchored by innovation, workforce opportunity, and neighborhood connection.
