Downtown Brooklyn use to be a place of mid-sized office towers and businesses, a smaller Midtown Manhattan if you will. That is no longer the case. Brooklyn houses tech, finance, and other innovative companies in large, new buildings due to a massive urban development push. Super tall apartments and mixed-retail developments have made Downtown Brooklyn into a gathering point for people all across the Brooklyn neighborhoods and even Manhattan. City Point’s Brooklyn Studio is a large open space that is perfect for presentations, fairs, or events.
Brooklynites of all types from the Williamsburg hipster to the the Park Slope professional come to Downtown Brooklyn for work or to shop. The area is also home to many universities such as Long Island University and NYU’s Engineering School and thus students and professors frequent the area. With its easy access to multiple train lines into Manhattan, the area continues to see more and more people living in Downtown Brooklyn.
The City Point retail center features a mix of cool, hip brands like Fellow Barber with large, convenient brands such as Target. Also in the center, an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema plays foreign films, classics, and new releases. Adjacent to City Point but with easy, indoor access, the DeKalb Food Market houses over 40 food vendors of speciality and ethnic foods.
To some the space being within a new, mixed-retail development may feel a bit too polished. But what it lacks in architectural grit, it more than makes up in convenience.
