NEW YORK CITY—Thor Equities on Wednesday revealed plans to build a 7.70-acre waterfront office development project in Brooklyn. Located in Red Hook, the property will include two heavy timber frame buildings totaling more than 600,000 square feet of creative office space, and 23,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The design features expansive, open floorplates of approximately 100,000 square feet. Surrounded by water on three sides, the campus will include a public waterfront esplanade, a central open courtyard and rooftop space for future tenants. “We are excited to present this unique new development, which will expand public access to the Red Hook waterfront, and provide an environmentally friendly and innovative environment for businesses operating in the creative and technology sectors in New York,” says Joseph Sitt, CEO of Thor Equities. The project is being built to fit the needs of a TAMI (technology, advertising, media and information) tenant or other appropriate user of the space. According to Nigel Dancey, senior executive partner at Foster + Partners—the property’s architect, “The design for this project takes advantage of its unique location in Red Hook, contributing to the wider regeneration of the area with new creative workspaces within a vibrant public realm. “Situated along the Brooklyn waterfront, the design pulls its natural surroundings into the site with a promenade, roof terraces and a green courtyard bisecting two low-rise building blocks. The design references the area’s industrial heritage, respecting the scale of the neighborhood, while creating flexible, innovative workspaces that will support new collaborative ways of work.”
