Industry City, the 35-acre creative campus owned by Belvedere Capital, Jamestown and Angelo Gordon & Co. in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York, celebrated the ribbon cutting and grand opening of Danny Meyer’s 70,000-square-foot Union Square Events headquarters. Founded in 2005 by Danny Meyer, Union Square Events is part of the Union Square Hospitality Group, with Industry City serving as the company’s first home base in Brooklyn following its Manhattan departure.
Unions Square Events (USE) will utilize its 70,000-square-foot combined kitchen, tasting and office space (designed by Gensler) as its corporate headquarters following the move from its Hudson Yards space. USE’s space will include a 33,000-square-foot commissary kitchen along with a tasting room, 120-seat dining room for employees, and incubator programs for culinary entrepreneurs.
The company curates unique and customized catering and dining experiences for premier companies, venues and events including Citi Field, the Whitney Museum, Delta Airlines, Facebook and more. Meyer has brought to New York City several notable restaurants including Gramercy Tavern, Daily Provisions, Shake Shack, The Modern, Union Square Café and more. Union Square Events exclusive event venues include the Whitney Museum of American Art, Overlook at Bryant Park, the Conrad New York Downtown, Après at Summit One Vanderbilt and more.
The strategic redevelopment of Industry City — launched in 2013 by Belvedere Capital and Jamestown — has generated significant leasing activity and job creation. Over the past six years, Industry City has invested over $450 million into the property and leased more than 3 million square feet of space.
