About this Location

Facility Overview

Parking Lot Building 1 is an expansive open-air surface parking facility situated within the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) industrial and commercial campus along the Sunset Park waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Positioned adjacent to Building 1 and the Upper New York Bay shoreline, this lot provides ground-level paved parking designed to accommodate campus tenants, workforce personnel, delivery professionals, and waterborne transit commuters. Because it is a level open-air surface lot without low-hanging ceiling pipes, overhead beams, or restrictive parking decks, it provides unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for high-roof commercial vans, full-size pickup trucks, passenger shuttles, and large SUVs alongside standard passenger sedans.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located in the heart of the revitalized Sunset Park industrial waterfront district, this facility offers immediate pedestrian access to several key waterfront amenities, business hubs, and transport links:

NYC Ferry Sunset Park / BAT Pier 4 Landing: Just a 2 to 4-minute walk from the lot, offering rapid, scenic passenger ferry connections to Lower Manhattan (Wall Street / Pier 11), Governors Island, Downtown Brooklyn, and the Rockaways.

Public transit connectivity is strong: the Sunset Park / BAT Pier 4 Ferry terminal is steps away, the B11 bus line terminates adjacent to the terminal entrance, and the 59th Street subway station (N and R lines) is located approximately 10 to 12 minutes away on 4th Avenue, offering an express rail route directly into Lower and Midtown Manhattan.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, enter the Brooklyn Army Terminal campus via 58th Street off 1st or 2nd Avenue and follow directional signs toward Building 1 and Pier 4. During weekday morning rush hours, ferry commuter arrivals can lead to increased turnover; arriving slightly before peak ferry departure times will yield the most convenient spaces. Drivers should check local BAT campus signage regarding designated tenant bays versus general visitor spaces to ensure parking in permitted sections.
