About the Venue:
25 Kent is an eight story, 500,000-square-foot commercial office building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, developed as the first ground-up office project of its scale in North Williamsburg in more than four decades. Designed through a collaboration between Hollwich Kushner (HWKN) and Gensler, the building reinterprets the neighborhood’s industrial heritage with a distinctive red brick and glass façade, expansive floor plates, soaring ceiling heights, and abundant natural light. Conceived as a hub for innovation, 25 Kent brings together technology, creative, design, production, and light manufacturing tenants in a highly flexible environment, complemented by multiple outdoor terraces, waterfront views, and integrated retail and public spaces. The building reflects a modern approach to workplace design where collaboration, creativity, and connectivity are all fostered within one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic commercial districts.
