Brooklyn Navy Yard

The Brooklyn Navy Yard served as the nation’s premier naval shipbuilding facility until it was decommissioned in 1966 and sold to the City of New York.

AKRF is actively engaged in transforming the 300-acre site into a new and exciting hub of commercial, retail, and residential activity.

Our PHA Division has worked extensively for the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, including preparation of a Transportation Strategic Plan and Transportation Demand Management Plan; the transportation components of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Master Plan; and the CEQR Environmental Assessment Statement for the rezoning that established the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District.

AKRF led the CEQR Environmental Impact Statement for the Admirals Row project to redevelop a portion of the Brooklyn Navy Yard with 300,000 square feet of supermarket, light industrial, community facility, and neighborhood-oriented retail uses. The project was approved in 2011, and we led civil engineering and permitting for the six-acre commercial development.

Our firm also provided acoustical consulting and civil engineering services to Steiner Studios; designed roadways and infrastructure for redevelopment of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital Annex; and have been providing design and permitting support for the reconstruction of Pier C to serve as a new 50,000-square-foot Homeport pier for NYC Ferry.

AKRF is currently providing environmental consulting in support of a waterfront access and dredging improvement plan being prepared by the New York City Office of Management and Budget and Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation.
