Foster + Partners, the London-based firm founded by Norman Foster, unveiled plans today for a mixed-use office development in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The development, spearheaded by Thor Equities, will be built on a former waterfront industrial site and include over 600,000 square feet of office space and another 23,000 square feet for retail outlets and restaurants.
According to a release from Foster + Partners, the development hopes to build on the recent tech boom in the Red Hook neighborhood and Brooklyn generally; as Bloomberg News reported, there were over 16 million square feet of planned office development in Brooklyn as of March. This includes another complex designed by NBBJ. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has also proposed a new streetcar line through the neighborhood, which would likely accelerate development.
