TEI Group awarded contract at Brooklyn Navy Yard #127, NYC

TEI Group to install 2 overhead geared traction/ service elevators at Brooklyn Navy Yard #127 Morris Avenue.

Hot on the heels of a new master plan that outlined the long-term future of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the developers behind the onetime shipbuilding center’s transformation have announced the restoration of one of its historic structures. Building 127, located on Morris Avenue between Third and Fourth streets, will be renovated by S9 Architecture.

The structure dates back to 1904, when it was used as a shipbuilding facility, and it was most recently the home of the Cumberland Packing Corp., best known as the manufacturer of Sweet’N Low. The company moved out of the facility in 2017, citing competitive pressure as the reason for the closure.

In its new iteration, Building 127 will get an additional 95,000 square feet of space, and each of its floors will have huge, column-free floor plates with high ceilings—similar to what’s envisioned for the Navy Yard’s new, “vertical manufacturing” buildings that are a part of its new master plan. There will also be loading areas, as well as one floor that the Navy Yard sees as fit for a design firm looking for a “showcase headquarters.”
