Brooklyn's Innovation Coast Research & Analysis
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce engaged BJH to research, define, and contextualize the existing state of Brooklyn’s Innovation Coast and its growth over time. The Innovation Coast is defined as the 21 neighborhoods along Brooklyn’s western coastline from Greenpoint to Fort Hamilton – a corridor that has experienced significant, concentrated growth in the innovation sector over the past decade. BJH used public and proprietary data sources to analyze the real estate, business, demographic, infrastructure, and cultural context of the Coast. The Brooklyn Chamber plans to use the research from this project for business attraction efforts on the Coast to ensure continued growth in the innovation sector. The final report defines and quantifies the Innovation Coast and highlights an action plan comprised of branding, research, policy, and specific projects to support future business attraction.
