The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) is a not-for-profit corporation that manages and develops the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a 300-acre industrial park located along Brooklyn’s waterfront. Originally established in 1801 as a naval shipbuilding facility, the site was decommissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1966 and subsequently acquired by New York City. Since 1969, BNYDC has transformed the former military facility into a modern industrial complex housing over 500 businesses and employing more than 11,000 people. The organization focuses on promoting sustainable manufacturing, technology companies, and creative enterprises while preserving the yard’s historic character. Notable developments include Building 77, a one-million-square-foot manufacturing and commercial hub, and the Green Manufacturing Center. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation operates under a long-term lease with New York City and is responsible for infrastructure improvements, building renovations, and tenant selection. The organization emphasizes job creation for local communities and sustainable development practices. The yard features various amenities including a public food hall, exhibition space, and workforce development center. Recent initiatives have included expanding public access to the historically closed facility and implementing environmentally conscious building practices across the campus.
