Project: Dock 72

The project will encompass 675,000 square feet and “cater to the rapidly emerging technology and creative industries in Brooklyn,” according to a press release. WeWork will anchor the building with a 222,000-square-foot lease. Dock 72 will bring valuable office space close to Dumbo, which has one of the lowest office vacancy rates in the city. The developers aim to charge Dumbo-level rents, and told Bloomberg that they hope to ask an ambitious $60 a square foot.

Dock 72 will rise on a 60,000-square-foot spit of land that juts out into the East River between two active dry docks—specifically Docks 2 and 3. Floor plates will range from 40,000 to 60,000 square feet, and WeWork plans to “curate” 35,000 square feet of amenities that will be open to all Navy Yard workers, including a massage room, specialty food vendors, a basketball court and a rooftop conference center.
