Brooklyn Army Terminal gets research center

A new 486,000-square-foot commercial bioscience research center is being developed at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, according to the city. The project, which is being developed through a partnership between Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office, the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the State University of New York, has received $12 million in city funds and an additional $48 million in state capital. The development, which will allow commercial and non-profit biomedical research, will create an estimated 1,000 permanent jobs. Phase one of the project, the construction of the first 56,000 square feet of the development, is expected to be complete in 2011. TRD
