The Ten Coolest Things at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
Eye On Real Estate: Navy Yard CEO David Ehrenberg chose them — we couldn't decide
It’s got a past that stretches back to the beginnings of America and a future that’s looking fine.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is busting out all over.
Its expansion is being funded by big real estate players like Mort Zuckerman’s Boston Properties and the Rudin family as well as the city, which owns the 300-acre site.
We are eternally intrigued by the Navy Yard, which was established in 1801 by President John Adams. Some of the nation’s finest naval ships were built there, including the USS Ohio, launched in 1820, and the USS Arizona, which was sunk during the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
