The City of New York and the federal government own the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  It is a historic industrial park currently being rehabilitated into a modern industrial park.  The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation is the not-for-profit organization that manages its redevelopment.

Recently, preservation and construction efforts were halted at the Officer's Quarters due to structural investigations that questioned preservation feasibility.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard is an industrial edge recessed inward from the Wallabout Bay and Channel.  It is responding to the transitioning population of the adjacent Fort Greene neighborhood by housing working class and middle class professions.
