Ware Malcomb is providing architectural design services for the project and working in collaboration with DH Property Holdings and Suffolk Construction. Steel is currently being erected at the 640 Columbia construction site.
The facility’s strategic location will facilitate crucial last-mile distribution to meet the needs of retailers and manufacturers being minutes from Downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the largest concentration of e-commerce shoppers in the country.
The project is located on a 4.5-acre site in the Red Hook waterfront district in Brooklyn. The 3-story facility totals over 370,000 square feet and includes a warehouse, office space, two levels of truck docks, a mezzanine with parking and dedicated elevator service to the third floor.

The third floor includes 18-foot clear heights and has direct freight elevator access.
An attached 77,853 square foot parking structure accommodates up to 184 cars for employees.
“Seeing this project progress from Ware Malcomb’s conceptual multistory prototype into construction is an incredible milestone for Ware Malcomb,” said Michael Bennett, Principal of Ware Malcomb’s Northeast region.
”We have worked in close collaboration with DH Property Holdings and Suffolk Construction and are looking forward to seeing this project through to completion.”

“Based on the specific requirements of this project and the location’s access to 13.5 million consumers within an hour drive, Ware Malcomb is confident the unique design of this multistory warehouse will serve as a significant distribution center for the greater New York area for many years to come,” said Edward Mayer II, Principal, Architecture of Ware Malcomb’s Newark, Princeton and New York offices.
“We’ve enjoyed working with the team at Ware Malcomb from the early conceptual stages of this project now into construction. Their industrial thought leadership was demonstrated through their creative multistory design and efforts to maximize the long-term real estate value of the facility and the site,” said Dov Hertz, President of DH Property Holdings, LLC.
