Brooklyn Warehouse Conversion
Environmental due diligence for adaptive reuse of historic warehouse into creative office space.
Project Overview
This adaptive reuse project transformed a historic Brooklyn warehouse into modern creative office space. Envicon's team provided comprehensive environmental due diligence to support a $28 million acquisition, including historical research and targeted subsurface investigation.
The Challenge
The historic warehouse had a complex industrial history requiring extensive research to identify potential environmental concerns. The acquisition timeline required rapid completion of Phase I and Phase II assessments while providing actionable information for transaction decision-making.
