Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center Revamps a Crown Heights Warehouse

The Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center is transforming a former auto parts warehouse at 1102 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights into space for light manufacturing. Yesterday, we spotted workers installing solar panels on the roof of the two-story brick industrial building between Franklin and Classon Avenues.

The renovation will cost an estimated $14,500,000 and provide space for 14 small and mid-size manufacturing businesses, according to GMDC. When work finishes, the building will have a new elevator, new windows, repointed brick, upgraded electrical, gas and plumbing, and a new roof with a 50-kilowatt solar array.

The organization bought the warehouse two years ago for $4,000,000, as we reported at the time. The nonprofit developer is leasing space in the building and expects tenants to start moving in around January or February, according to a spokesperson.
