Key Role for Downtown Brooklyn
Downtown Brooklyn is a key part of New York City's strategy for growth by providing an affordable option for businesses and a competitive alternative to New Jersey.

The area offers an alternative and competitive office district with a focus on back-office functions for firms seeking to disperse operations from central locations. It offers Class A space without Class A rents, boasts a vibrant and varied urban environment, has the benefit of close proximity and easy access to Manhattan and is connected by a wide variety of transportation options. Downtown Brooklyn is poised to retain and grow the citys at-risk back-office jobs, preserve its tax base and generate new revenues.
