Located in Brooklyn’s thriving Bushwick/East Williamsburg corridor, 135 Jefferson Street presents a rare last-mile industrial development opportunity on a 2.5-acre lot with 158,750 buildable square feet. The site benefits from split zoning (M1-1 and M3-1), allowing for a broad range of industrial, retail, and semi-industrial uses. A vacant 13,886-square-foot building currently leased to Verizon (lease terminating October 2025) sits on the property, with the remainder used for parking. Positioned within walking distance of the M, J, Z, and L subway lines and just minutes from the BQE and Long Island Expressway, the site offers exceptional connectivity to Manhattan and the broader metro area. The surrounding neighborhood is a dynamic mix of industrial parks, creative businesses, and cultural destinations, including the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Williamsburg Wharf, and the Bushwick Collective. The area is supported by strong demographics, with projected household incomes reaching $127,096 by 2028 and over 1.1 million people employed in Brooklyn. This block-through site offers 551 feet of street frontage across Jefferson Street, George Street, and Central Avenue, enhancing visibility and access. With rezoning-induced scarcity and NYC legislation limiting last-mile warehouse development, this property is well-positioned for long-term value creation in a high-demand industrial submarket.
