Go inside the raw industrial spaces, latest renovations and future plans at Kearny Point, a former United States shipyard on a special tour with Untapped Cities. During World War I and II, Kearny Point was once one of the world’s most prolific shipyards when it operated as the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, where as many as 30,000 people came to work each day. Today, Hugo Neu is transforming the 130-acre industrial complex into a new mixed-use, sustainable waterfront destination – one that embraces the site’s history and provides opportunities for the businesses of the new economy. Its renewed work environment is situated only minutes from Manhattan, but comes at a fraction of the cost of workspace in New York City, Newark, Hoboken or Jersey City. If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can join a free tour of the still raw and newly renovated spaces with Nick Shears, Director of Leasing at Kearny Point. Not an Insider yet?

In total, the Kearny Point project will reactivate more than three million square feet of industrial space for more than 7,000 jobs, making it one of the largest and most economically significant redevelopments in the region. In subsequent phases, Kearny Point will include a host of indoor/outdoor common areas, including a living shoreline, public waterfront promenade and a restored marina.
