The Old Pfizer Factory
630 Flushing Avenue | (718) 360-9500
When Pfizer closed down its Brooklyn headquarters in 2008 after more than 150 years of pharmaceutical manufacturing, the company left behind a deserted behemoth: 660,000 square feet of space, filled with lab equipment, computers and furniture. Acumen Capital Partners purchased the shuttered building in 2011 and have slowly brought it back to life. After years of labor, the old Pfizer building has now become "the creative epicenter of Brooklyn's bustling food scene," according to Edible Brooklyn.
