4,500 SF of brand new loft-style corner space at 70 Flushing Avenue at Cumberland Street, directly alongside the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Suited to retail, office, or a combination of both.
The character here comes from the building. Exposed wood beam ceilings, finished in black, run overhead throughout — the kind of authentic loft construction that gives a space presence the moment someone walks in, and that no modern floor plate can replicate. Delivered as a clean white box, so the architecture is already doing the work and the build-out is yours to define.
The corner position provides dual exposure, and a full window wall runs across the frontage. The entry sits three steps down from the sidewalk. In practice that means a shallow threshold, not a lower level — the window wall keeps natural light flooding the space throughout the day, and the sightline from the street remains clear. It reads as a loft, not a basement.
At 4,500 SF the space supports a full-format operation: a flagship with real back-of-house, a showroom with attached working studio, a headquarters with client-facing frontage, or a combined retail and office concept under one roof.
TERMS
One-year lease terms are available with a straightforward application and approvals typically handled within days — practical for brands entering the market, companies in a growth phase, or operators who want to prove the location before a long-term commitment.

LOCATION
70 Flushing Avenue sits on the edge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one of the most active creative and industrial employment centers in New York City, with thousands of workers across production, technology, manufacturing, and design firms. The corner draws from Fort Greene and Clinton Hill immediately to the south — two of Brooklyn's strongest residential neighborhoods — and connects quickly to DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn, and Manhattan via the BQE and the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. The combination of a large daytime workforce and dense, high-income residential is unusual and supports both destination and daily-needs concepts.
