With $50M redevelopment, MetroTech Center will become ‘Brooklyn Commons’

Brookfield Properties today announced the rebranding of the MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn to Brooklyn Commons. The $50 million redevelopment project aims to modernize the property through the renovation of several of the office buildings within the campus, upgrades to the central public park space, and a year-round arts and event program that will be free and open to the public.

"MetroTech Center, which is arguably one of Brooklyn’s more depressing places, is getting a $50 million renovation as well as a new name.

Brookfield Properties, its owner, is renaming the sprawling and somewhat soulless downtown area to Brooklyn Commons and has announced plans to renovate several of the office buildings, thereby upgrading the mostly concrete public park space. A new, year-round arts and entertainment venue housing free events is also planned."
