Architectural firm to move into Industry City
Industry City continues to grow in its number of design companies and the hiring of locals.
Specialty contractor EverGreene Architectural Arts, whose portfolio includes the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building lobbies, the U.S. Capitol and the Kings Theatre, recently signed a 10-year-lease to a 19,000 square-foot space at the waterfront property.
Although the move isn’t slated to happen until January 2017, the firm has already hired two Sunset Park residents. “This is yet another example of how we will collaborate with the community in positive ways,” Industry City CEO Andrew Kimball told this paper. “[EverGreene] is a perfect illustration of how companies come here and expand in a space that was previously vacant or used for storage and there were no jobs. Now it’s coming back to life and putting folks to work in good paying jobs that are pretty local.”
