The Collaborative recently made a trip up to Brooklyn, NY for a tour of once-abandoned factory buildings redeveloped by Greenpoint Manufacturing & Design Center (GMDC) for use by new, small manufacturing businesses. Locally, GMDC teamed up with the Women's Community Revitalization Project to serve as a client for Infill Philadelphia: Industrial Sites. GMDC and WCRP wanted to explore possibilities for re-purposing a cluster of industrial buildings on Oxford Street as a mixed-use development that combines affordable housing with space for fabrication.
GMDC is a nonprofit industrial developer in New York City who strives to create and sustain viable manufacturing sectors in urban neighborhoods. In the past two decades, GMDC has rehabilitated six manufacturing buildings to be used by small manufacturing enterprises, artisans and artists.
