industry city ( formerly bush terminal ) is a historic intermodal shipping , warehousing , and manufacturing complex on the waterfront in the sunset park neighborhood of brooklyn , new york city .

bush terminal was the first facility of its kind in new york city and the largest multi-tenant industrial property in the united states .

the bush terminal company managed shipping for all the bush terminal tenants , making it the first american example of completely integrated manufacturing and warehousing , served by both rail and water transportation , under a unified management system .

at its peak , bush terminal covered 200 acres ( about 81 hectares ) , bounded by upper new york bay 's gowanus bay to the west and north , by 3rd avenue to the east , and — at its peak — between 27th street to the north and 50th street to the south .

today , industry city comprises roughly 40 acres ( 16 ha ) of the former bush terminal , including 16 original buildings .

the 6.5 million square foot complex is currently undergoing renovations to modernize the historic infrastructure in an effort to preserve the industrial heritage of the project for future generations of artisans , craftsmen , and small businesses .

work on the project began in 2012 , but as of spring 2017 a completion date has not been announced .

8 . an industrial landscape that constrained the city’s core . a unique aspect of land use in detroit that’s often discussed but rarely explored fully is the huge amount of industrial and manufacturing land in the city . it’s not surprising , really , since the city did give itself over to the industrial gods . detroit was not only the home of the auto industry , but all the suppliers that made assembly there viable — producing everything from windshields to exhaust pipes .

in many respects the seventeenth - century dutch republic inherited the economic successes of the burgundian and habsburg netherlands . for centuries , flanders and to a lesser extent brabant had been at the forefront of the medieval european economy . an indigenous cloth industry was present throughout all areas of europe in the early medieval period , but flanders was the first to develop the industry with great intensity . a tradition of cloth manufacture in the low countries existed from antiquity when the celts and then the franks continued an active textile industry learned from the romans .

9 . ill - timed and unfulfilled annexation policy . the two maps above show ( in green ) the city’s boundaries as of 1915 . bear in mind that detroit’s population exploded from 205 , 000 in 1890 to almost 1 million by 1920 , but not much new territory was added to the city during that time . in fact , between 1892 and 1905 , the city did not annex any new land , all while rapid growth was happening . with the dtr now wrapped around the city with a wall of industrial land , city leaders began looking for new lands to annex to support the expanding population .
strolling through the streets of manhattan’s business neighborhoods , you can pick out the strata of the city’s built commercial heritage , deposited over generations by industries long gone . from the garment district’s heavy pyramidal avenue office towers and side street lofts , dropped by the garment industry in the 1920s , to the modernist towers like lever house and the seagram building , erected on park and fifth avenues during the post - war years by the country’s giant consumer goods companies , each epoch of industry left the city with a layer of commercial architecture , enduring long after the businesses were acquired and the booms turned to bust .

neighbors demanded that the city regulate the building somehow . in 1916 , the city responded by passing the country ' s first comprehensive zoning code . that effort was largely spearheaded by lawyer edward bassett , who went on to invent the freeway and parkway .
the first city to experiment with this was san francisco . in 1885 , the city banned public laundries from most areas , a not - so - subtle attempt to zone the chinese out . that law was invalidated by a 1886 supreme court case .
on matters where it is agreed that it would be desirable to involve a broader representation of the industry , separate processes and meetings shall be established to ensure the necessary breadth of consultation .
although leiden certainly led the netherlands in the production of wool cloth , it was not the only textile producing city in the united provinces . amsterdam , utrecht , delft and haarlem , among others , had vibrant textile industries . haarlem , for example , was home to an important linen industry during the first half of the seventeenth century . like leiden’s cloth industry , haarlem’s linen industry benefited from experienced linen weavers who migrated from the southern netherlands during the dutch revolt . haarlem’s hold on linen production , however , was due more to its success in linen bleaching and finishing . not only was locally produced linen finished in haarlem , but linen merchants from other areas of europe sent their products to haarlem for bleaching and finishing . as linen production moved to more rural areas as producers sought to decrease costs in the second half of the seventeenth century , haarlem’s industry went into decline .

the heartland for textile manufacturing had been flanders and brabant until the onset of the dutch revolt around 1568 . years of warfare continued to devastate the already beaten down flemish cloth industry . even the cloth producing towns of the northern netherlands that had been focusing on producing the “new draperies” saw their output decline as a result of wartime interruptions . but textiles remained the most important industry for the dutch economy .

the sunset park industrial waterfront’s strategic location on upper new york bay , extensive industrial infrastructure , access to a large local labor pool , and connection to major transportation networks serving new york city as well as the wider region , help the district maintain its importance as a working waterfront . the recommendations in this vision plan aim to foster its continued growth and achieve a vision of how industry can become a better urban neighbor and continuing player in the diversification of the new york city economy .
once a manufacturing stronghold ( not to mention an immigrant enclave ) , sunset park was more recently home to artists seeking large - scale studio space and cheap rent . now development is ramping up , centered in the 16 - building industry city complex , where manufacturing and the creative classes can , its developers hope , live and work together happily .
note that these images come from the more intact parts of the city , not the “returning - to - prairie” areas that have brought the city notoriety . true , detroit has more than its share of abandoned ruins that negatively impact housing prices . but it also has many more homes that simply don’t generate the demand that higher quality housing would . that is a major contributor to the city’s abundance of very cheap housing .
as demand grew early textile production moved from its rural origins to the cities and had become , by the twelfth century , an essentially urban industry . native wool could not keep up with demand , and the flemings imported english wool in great quantities . the resulting high quality product was much in demand all over europe , from novgorod to the mediterranean . brabant also rose to an important position in textile industry , but only about a century after flanders . by the thirteenth century the number of people engaged in some aspect of the textile industry in the southern netherlands had become more than the total engaged in all other crafts . it is possible that this emphasis on cloth manufacture was the reason that the flemish towns ignored the emerging maritime shipping industry which was eventually dominated by others , first the german hanseatic league , and later holland and zeeland .

the unusually rapid growth in the number and size of industrial plants along the main lines of the railways entering the city has caused serious congestion in practically all of the area within the city limits suitable for such development .

despite the blow it suffered during the dutch revolt , leiden’s textile industry , for instance , rebounded in the early seventeenth century – thanks to the influx of textile workers from the southern netherlands who emigrated there in the face of religious persecution . but by the 1630s leiden had abandoned the heavy traditional wool cloths in favor of a lighter traditional woolen ( laken ) as well as a variety of other textiles such as says , fustians , and camlets . total textile production increased from 50 , 000 or 60 , 000 pieces per year in the first few years of the seventeenth century to as much as 130 , 000 pieces per year during the 1660s . leiden’s wool cloth industry probably reached peak production by 1670 . the city’s textile industry was successful because it found export markets for its inexpensive cloths in the mediterranean , much to the detriment of italian cloth producers .

“‘i am not sure whether bringing people into [ the city ] more expeditiously and quicker than they have ever been able to get in before , will not be the ruination of detroit . ’ by this jeffries meant that the proposed highways which were designed to make the center more accessible to the periphery , would also make the periphery more accessible to the center . as a result , more people would move farther away until there is nothing left [ in detroit ] but industry — a development that would bankrupt the city ( and devastate its central business district ) . ”
most cities across the nation , even most other rust belt cities , concentrated industrial lands in certain districts or corridors , often in just one part of a city . usually the industrial lands followed waterfronts or rail corridors and connected with downtowns , and other parts of the city were spared the negative externalities of industrial use . but detroit circa 1905 was faced with a critical decision — how could the city expand its industrial lands to capitalize on its emerging role as the automobile capital of the world ?

this has been a double - edged sword for detroit . while it may have kept a lid on some of the possible corruption that could have happened , it likely created greater distance between residents and city government . i believe this led to two significant impacts . first , it allowed the influence of the auto industry to travel unfettered within local government through the first two - thirds of the 20th century , without the countervailing influence of local residents . second , without representation and support , neighborhoods were unable to mature in detroit as they had in other major cities . they never had champions at the local government level , as elected officials had to view the city in its entirety and abstractly , and not represent and develop a unique part of the city .
