New York City’s office-reliant market has taken a hard hit since the pandemic forced the majority of companies to an unexpected work-from-home scenario. Landlords have been facing headwinds in attracting and retaining tenants, while developers are rethinking their planned office assets. Brooklyn’s transformation since its 2004  rezoning was well underway when the global health crisis struck.<\/p>\n

The borough’s office market, with a history of attracting mostly creative businesses and midsize tenants, has been faring relatively well. Between January and October 2021, three office properties totaling roughly 750,000 square feet broke ground, surpassing last year’s numbers and even pre-pandemic levels: in the same period in 2020, a single office property comprising 25,860 square feet commenced construction. In May, Savanna secured $264 million in construction financing<\/a> for one of the borough’s largest ground-up office buildings to break ground in recent years. In mid-2021, the tallest office tower in downtown Brooklyn<\/a> opened.<\/p>\n

Medical office facilities gained popularity during the pandemic while adaptive reuse and renovation became more frequent. The table below highlights the largest office buildings completed in Brooklyn this year, based on CommercialEdge data. The list reflects the pandemic-related trends mentioned: two of the five largest projects were renovations, including the largest development: a ten-building industrial-to-office conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first entry on our list is a two-story, 26,600-square-foot adaptive reuse project at the junction of Bedford and Tilden avenues. Privately owned, the two-story structure at 2351 Bedford Ave. was originally built in 1930 and converted from industrial to office this year.<\/p>\n

The two-story structure rises on a 0.3-acre site between Little Caribbean, Little Haiti and Flatbush. The property is a block away from the Flatbush Avenue retail corridor. The renovation extended the building with the addition of a new, dark glass cube positioned at the corner of the two avenues. Under construction since 2016, the building\u2019s transformation has been debated, with former possible outcomes including a retail center and a medical facility, according to Patch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rising seven stories on a 0.2-acre site, the building offers floorplates which range between 4,550 and 6,800 square feet. Situated along the Coney Island Avenue commercial corridor, the building includes nearly 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.<\/p>\n

Located between 48th and 49th streets, the 150,000-square-foot, seven-story ambulatory care facility includes two levels of underground parking.

Back in July 2018, the project received $235 million in construction financing from Otera Capital. FXCollaborative was the architect behind the 34-story structure. The firm also secured a 40,000-square-foot lease within the building, relocating its premises from Manhattan. The first six floors are dedicated to a 300-seat public school belonging to the New York School Construction Authority, which pre-leased 87,000 square feet at the location.<\/p>\n

In July 2021, RXR Realty completed Brooklyn’s largest office property<\/a> this year. The Hall is a 650,000-square-foot, ten-building adaptive reuse project, situated between DUMBO, Williamsburg and The Brooklyn Navy Yard. The full-block workplace campus restoration was designed by Marvel Architects, while Starwood Capital Group provided $163.6 million in construction financing.<\/p>\n

Completed between 1890 and 1927, the structures range between 43,868 and 255,409 square feet. Some of the buildings were designed by internationally celebrated architect Louis Kahn. The campus was home to printing press producer the Mergenthaler Linotype Co., one of the biggest employers of the 20th century Brooklyn. Besides the renovation of the facades, the overhaul included infrastructure upgrades and the revitalization of outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n
