Industrial Brooklyn Complex Opens for Events

Recently made available for events is the 1896, a 24,000-square-foot complex of three buildings in Brooklyn that offers a variety of spaces. Currently used for photo and movie shoots, the site has rooms indoors as well as outdoor spaces. The site is mostly industrial, with raw areas that can be customized for events and shoots.

Among the different spaces are two warehouses, Area 2 and Area 3. The 2,500-square-foot Area 2 has a 24-foot ceiling and opens onto the 1,500-square-foot courtyard. Adjacent to this area are small rooms for hair and makeup. Area 3 offers 3,500 square feet of space, a 30-foot ceiling with skylights, and access to two loading bays.In another building are the art studios, which range in size from as small as 135 square feet to 1,500 and are available for shoots as well as prop construction. A 1,400-square-foot loft space that is less industrial than the rest of the site is furnished with sofas and chairs. Attached to this is a 1,000-square-foot roof deck, slated to open next summer.
