Bush Terminal to get $136M makeover
Transforming Sunset Park’s Industrial Waterfront into Hub for Fashion, Film, Tech
WXY architecture + urban design announced yesterday that it will be conceiving and designing a $136 million transformation of Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront in Sunset Park to create The Made in NY Campus, according to a release from the company.
WYX says the investment will create a major hub for film, fashion and virtual reality tech companies through a new urban design plus renovations of two Bush Terminal structures in the Sunset Park district — totaling 200,000 square feet of garment manufacturing space — and a new 100,000-square-foot facility for film and television production.
The announcement came on the heels of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s State of the City address on Monday, during which the mayor promised to bring at least 1,500 jobs to the neighborhood.
