被忽视了五十年，与布鲁克林大桥毗邻的帝国商店，现在是纽约最令人垂涎的财富地段，该地区在19世纪的时候在一个380，000平方英尺的咖啡豆存储基地。在布鲁克林文化博物馆建成之后，周围的办公楼、餐厅及商业街都相继火爆起来。布鲁克林大桥的大股东乔卡耶尔说：“南北战争时期，帝国商店是布鲁克林海滨上最具标志性的建筑，因此我要重建帝国大厦，恢复以往的荣耀。”
V工作室投资1.5亿美元，目的在于将其翻新。国家公园服务列出了七个建筑为历史遗址，这意味着改造翻新这些建筑将必须履行严格的标准。V工作室保留了原来的外部面貌，使用了较为古朴的颜色和材料，并在其上涂上了具有现代气息的光泽。“我们结合了历史特点和现代特点，使用了玻璃屋顶，便于自然光线和空气进入室内，并使曼哈顿可以一览无余。”该工作室负责人杰伊Valgora说。目前该团队已经宣布，该建筑材料质量已经达到了LEED银级甚至更高。
很多人认识到了布鲁克林的商业活力，开发商也希望这里可以吸引当地的商人，在这边创建高科技商区和餐馆。一个土生土长的布鲁克林家具公司获得了该地区20年的使用权，150,000平方英尺的租赁权。该项目预计2014年初破土动工。

Reviving Brooklyn’s Waterfront, 19th Century Warehouses Evolve Into 21st Century Hubs
After fifty years of neglect the Empire Stores, located next to the Brooklyn Bridge, are now the most coveted waterfront property in New York. Midtown Equity has partnered with Studio V Architecture to adaptively reuse the 19th-century coffee warehouse into 380,000 square-feet of office, restaurant and commercial space, highlighted by a Brooklyn-centric cultural museum.
The $150 million project designed by Studio V has committed to balancing the old and the new. The National Park Service lists the seven buildings as a historic site, meaning all facades, interiors and architectural treatments must follow strict standards for its rehabilitation. Architects at Studio V have responded by preserving original facades, delicately crafting transparent interventions in select moments, contrasting aged-brick with the modern sheen of glass. “Our design,” states Jay Valgora, principal of Studio V, “combines historic rehabilitation with contemporary forms and materials to create an innovative new architecture for the waterfront.” The new glass courtyard and public rooftop park, offering an unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline, is designed to bring natural light and air into the buildings and reconnect the neighborhood to the waterfront. The team has declared it seeks to achieve a rating of LEED Silver or better.
Recognizing the vibrancy of Brooklyn, the developers hope to lure local merchants, tech start-ups and restaurateurs. West Elk, a native Brooklyn furniture company, is among the first to secure a 20-year, 150,000 square-foot lease. For now, however, visitors will have to wait (perhaps enjoy the nearby carousel or stroll through bridge in the meantime). The project is expected to break ground in early 2014.
