Another $4.5 million is available through NYCEDC\u2019s Industrial Modernization Initiative, the city\u2019s effort to foster the industrial sector by modernizing and subdividing industrial space across the five boroughs. The funds will be used to complete the fit-out, upgrades and spaces subdivision at the Liberty View Industrial Plaza, an eight-story, 1.1 million square foot building located at 850 Third Avenue in the former United States Navy Fleet Supply Base Storehouse #2 (also know as Federal Building #2).<\/p>\n<p>The new fashion innovation hub will occupy the entire seventh floor at the Liberty View Industrial Plaza and offer easy access to the boroughs, all major highways and the three metro airports. The industrial facility, which is now owned by Salmar Properties, was built in 1920 and recently went through a $40 million renovation process that included a new roof, windows, fa\u00e7ade and utilities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_313267\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/12\/US-Navy-Fleet-Suppy-Base-Storehouse-2-in-2007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-313267\" title=\"US Navy Fleet Suppy Base Storehouse 2 in 2007 - via PropertyShark\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/12\/US-Navy-Fleet-Suppy-Base-Storehouse-2-in-2007.jpg\" alt=\"US Navy Fleet Suppy Base Storehouse 2 in 2007 - via PropertyShark\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">US Navy Fleet Suppy Base Storehouse #2 in 2007 &#8211; via PropertyShark<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As reported by the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklyndaily.com\/stories\/2014\/50\/br-fashion-in-sunset-park-2014-12-12-bk_2014_50.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Brooklyn Eagle<\/a><\/em>, the City paid $10 million to the state of New York to acquire the building in 2011 and then sold it to Salmar Properties.<\/p>\n<p>The Manufacturing Innovation Hub for Apparel, Textiles &amp; Wearable Tech will occupy 160,000 square feet of space, of which 110,000 square feet will be dedicated to active manufacturing.
