NEW YORK CITY—Shining with precision of an origami-like, ocean wave at the Brooklyn waterfront, Dock 72 conveys both fluidity of the water and a structured monumental strength. The 16-story, 250 foot-high, 675,000 square-foot building is the first ground-up commercial construction in Brooklyn in over a decade, according to Rudin Development Company.

The $400 million project is a partnership of Rudin Development with Boston Properties as the managing partner, and WeWork co-developing amenities. The real estate firms hosted a press tour, starting with a boat ride from Downtown Manhattan. The NYC Ferry Service is scheduled to have a terminal near Dock 72, operational by January 1, 2019. (The development’s other transportation options will include a shuttle to DUMBO and the Atlantic Terminal, a parking lot with electric charging stations, a bike valet and an onsite Citibike station.)

CEO and co-chair Bill Rudin, and his son, SVP, Michael Rudin, both of Rudin Management Company, personally provided tours.

Michael told GlobeSt.com he’s particularly proud of Dock 72’s amenities, sustainable design and state-of-the-art technology. The developers’ goal is to create a next-generation modern workplace on the Brooklyn waterfront.

“The location and shape of the site along with the physical conditions provided the greatest challenges for the project,” said Michael. “However, these challenges allowed us to think creatively and create a truly unique building with distinctive architectural details.”
