For years, Brooklyn Navy Yard sat underutilized, a massive piece of real estate on the Brooklyn waterfront filled with the relics of World War II.
But now, Washington, D.C.-based startup incubator 1776 is doing its part to revive the historic space.
1776 is setting up shop in the navy yard as the anchor tenant, opening the doors of a "beta" space as it continues work on its 32,000-square-foot campus nearby. The company is rehabbing part of a massive building that used to house munitions during World War II with plans to move into that space — called building 77 — in the first few months of 2017.
