Facility Overview
Situated within the thriving creative and culinary enclave of Industry City in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, the parking facility at 52 35th Street serves visitors to the historic Sahadi\'s market and cafe, as well as the wider 35-acre waterfront campus. Configured as an open-air surface parking lot, this facility provides straightforward ground-level parking without the overhead height limitations commonly found in subterranean or multi-story Brooklyn garages. Because there are no low overhead beams, the lot comfortably accommodates passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, minivans, and standard pickup trucks. Clear asphalt lane markings and dedicated turning aisles ensure smooth internal navigation for shoppers loading groceries, dining patrons, and business guests alike.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Weekend afternoons bring high footfall to Industry City\'s dining hubs, so arriving before 11:30 AM or after 3:00 PM will help secure parking spots quickly. If you plan to load bulky specialty home items or large grocery hauls from Sahadi\'s, take advantage of the short-term drop-off zones along 35th Street before pulling into the lot. Always note your stall number or payment receipt display instructions when completing transactions at digital parking machines.
