OVERVIEW

Sighted off Manhattan, and sited in Brooklyn is the Whale. This former torpedo factory is one of the buildings that places Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood front and center as a destination for world business. Adjacent to Brooklyn Army Terminal and the New York Harbor in Sunset Park, the building was modernized by a redevelopment that includes a fully renovated lobby, as well as new elevators and windows. The former industrial use of the building lends itself to the large windows providing panoramic views that include the New York Harbor, Manhattan skyline, and the Statue of Liberty. Excellent amenities are on-site, including a ground floor collaborative workspace to inspire productivity further, an urban café offering different meal options, and an on-site parking garage for those battling the expressways. An additional benefit of the Whale Building’s former use are the large, open floor plans, consisting of high ceilings and polished concrete floors. The ground floor is fully available for an industrial user, with the possibility for retail or retail warehousing uses. It includes 19’4” ceilings, 1 drive-in loading dock, 1 interior loading dock, and 3 tailboard height loading positions. The column spacing is 20’ x 20’ and 20’ x 25’, and there is heavy power available. The upper levels boast the ability to house a multitude of different users, including office, retail, and medical enterprises. The spaces are in white box condition, allowing for customizability and flexible sizing to meet the needs of large scale, visionary global, or growth-focused companies. Car-free commuters will benefit significantly from the private shuttle service offered, taking riders to nearby transit stops, including the R Train and 58th Street Ferry stop. Even as the Whale seems to stand apart, in reality, the cultural, culinary, and creative ferment of Brooklyn is still close at hand. Within a walk or short transit ride, there are over 20 popular destinations for food, coffee, fitness, shopping, and outdoor recreation at one of the city’s numerous parks. The Whale has been thoroughly re-commissioned, refreshed, and re-engineered for the next visionary, big thinker looking for square footage that can scale alongside their needs.
