The “cool factor” looms huge in today’s office leasing. Tenants, especially in creative fields, demand features and amenities such as communal work areas, outdoor terraces, on-site cafés, health clubs and game rooms.

Many new projects as well as some retrofitted older ones are full of bells and whistles that appeal to millennials and creative types of all ages. But Dock 72, now rising at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, will have at least one feature that’s not only cool, but unique: a ferry dock right at its feet.

In fact, the new Citywide Ferry Service stop, to open in 2018, isn’t just for Dock 72, a $410 million, 16-story, 675,000-square-foot joint venture of Rudin Development and Boston Properties. It’s a new entrance portal for the entire Navy Yard, a 300-acre, city-owned, modern industrial park between the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.

But those coming to work at Dock 72 might feel the ferry landing is theirs alone, as it’s almost at the building’s front doorstep.
