DUMBO

Industrial architecture. Waterfront scale.

DUMBO’s former warehouses and factory buildings frame cobbled streets beneath the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. Large windows and substantial masonry facades remain central to its appearance, even as loft conversions and newer residential buildings have changed how the neighborhood is used.

The East River waterfront connects to Brooklyn Bridge Park, with open lawns, pathways, and views across the water. Washington Street and the surrounding blocks offer a particularly recognizable meeting of infrastructure, architecture, and city life.
