About Industry City
Industry City at Bush Terminal is a prominent complex of manufacturing, office and retail space on the Brooklyn waterfront. When it was built in the early 1900s, it was the largest manufacturing and distribution center in the world, and it helped turn Brooklyn into a major 20th-century seaport. Brooklyn has since evolved into one of New York’s great centers of innovation and culture. What’s made at Industry City and how it’s made has also changed. Industry City’s 16 buildings at Bush Terminal, which once manufactured electric motors, machine parts and textiles, are now making, designing and selling products for the 21st-century world.
