High-Tech manufacturing hub opens at Navy Yard
A giant, loft-like manufacturing space known as New Lab will open at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 2015, and its future tenants were so eager to move into the huge space that its developer opened a Beta Space more than a year ahead of schedule to accommodate them.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Borough President Marty Markowitz and Councilman Steve Levin were on hand along with the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s Andrew Kimball and David Belt of Macro Sea, the company developing the space, to announce the opening of its Beta Space, or temporary home, on Thursday.
