Steiner Studios’ expansion plans will preserve historic Navy Yard buildings
The needs of Steiner Studios to expand and the fact that the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s old hospital and surgeon’s residence are both New York City landmarks have contributed to a happy ending for the yard’s 19th century hospital campus.
When Steiner Studios, under the terms of an agreement reached last week, begins its $400 million project to create a media campus on the site, it plans to rehabilitate the nine historic buildings there — as well as creating five new buildings.
It also helps that when the U.S. Navy turned the campus over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation in 1989, it first stabilized the buildings.
