Two Bushes’ thriving prewar workplace buildings in Dumbo simply received a Twenty first-Century bonus: re-imagined, user-friendly, tech-driven lobbies designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Structure.
The developer’s three workplace areas comprising almost 1.5 million sq. toes are greater than 90% leased, based on sources. Now, the properties — 45 Important St., 55 Washington St. and 20 Jay St. — all boast new lobbies warmly lit in earth tones and outfitted with technology-enabled entry management powered by a Two Bushes-branded app.
The app can even join tenants to facilities comparable to convention rooms, roof decks and bike rooms. The buildings’ various tenant lineup consists of Bjarke Ingels Group, Fortis Group, Amplify, BPCM, Woven Planet and Pink Antler.
The foyer renovations use brick-and-concrete textures with additions of leather-based and wooden “impressed by the supplies and structure of Dumbo,” stated agency co-founder Dominic Kozerski.
They exchange a decades-old look that was merely “charming,” David Lombino, Two Bushes managing director for exterior affairs, stated with tongue barely in cheek.
Though the lobbies signify a major capital improve to the prewar trio, Two Bushes business leasing managing director Alyssa Zahler stated their “greatest, prime amenity” is the Dumbo neighborhood itself.
She stated that many Dumbo tenants are leased to corporations whose principals stay in nearby, brownstone-Brooklyn nabes. Asking rents in Dumbo vary from $38-58 per sq. foot with the typical within the mid-$40s.
In the meantime, not distant, work continues apace on Two Bushes’ audacious adaptive-reuse transformation of the Domino sugar refinery right into a cutting-edge office building on the Williamsburg waterfront.
Development ought to be performed by the autumn, together with an enormous glass envelope wrapped across the landmark’s 150-year-old brick facade.
