As the most populated borough in New York, with a population of approximately 2.7 million, it’s no surprise that there is a growing demand for reliable and efficient interconnection facilities. Recognizing the potential of Brooklyn two decades ago in 2003, we were determined to make an impact in our community.

Why did you choose to have your business/org in Brooklyn? Why did you choose to have your business in Industry City?
The campus of Industry City was a key factor in our decision to set up shop in Brooklyn. We knew that this location would be the next technological hub, and we were right; since 2009, the number of businesses in Brooklyn has increased by 32%, and business sales have seen an increase of 48%. This growth is supported by Brooklyn’s competitive advantages, including a large, skilled, diverse labor force, an established education and research infrastructure, and a dense urban core. Whether starting a new venture or moving your business to this location, Brooklyn’s diversity, dynamism, density, and direct access to Manhattan make it an excellent choice for any industry.
