Building upon the success of the organization’s previous industrial redevelopment projects, GMDC has completed its first new construction project in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

• $118M development  
• 39,000 sq ft of light manufacturing space
• 174 affordable and supportive housing units
• Construction begins April 2022, and was completed in June 2024
•  Building is 100% leased
