Navy Yard Will See ECCO’s First Studio Outside Denmark
ECCO, the Denmark-based footwear and leather goods retailer, has signed a five-year lease to take 7,000 square feet for a design and prototyping studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s Building 212. The company’s first studio space outside Denmark, the new facility will open this fall.
“Over the last few years, the Yard has established itself as a leading destination for cutting edge fashion companies who are attracted by our unique ecosystem and eclectic mix of tenants,” said Johanna Greenbaum, chief development officer at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. “Building 212 is designed to be a space for innovation and collaboration, and we are excited to welcome ECCO to the Yard community.”
ECCO comes to the Brooklyn Navy Yard during the Yard’s ongoing $1-billion expansion, its largest since World War II, which will nearly double its job total to 20,000 from its current 11,000 in the coming years.
