Nestled on the waterfront between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, DUMBO is one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods with a rich history, lively art and tech scenes, access to 85 acres of riverfront park and some of the best views in the city. This dynamic hub combines big city benefits with the intimacy and quirkiness of a small neighborhood, all a short subway, bike or ferry ride from Manhattan and other Brooklyn neighborhoods.
The area was one of the original manufacturing districts in the country, with warehouses and factories that marked Brooklyn as a major American industrial center. When Two Trees founder David Walentas purchased 13 buildings within DUMBO in 1974 he made a promise to the neighborhood that he would develop buildings in a way that preserved the heritage of the area and build artistic, cultural and community spaces to benefit the residents.
