New Tenant Bolsters Sunset Park’s Working Waterfront, Driving Quality Jobs, Innovation, and Inclusive Growth—Further Cementing Its Role as a Hub for Industry

BROOKLYN, NY—The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) today announced a new lease signing at MADE Bush Terminal with Stickbulb, a New York City-based lighting manufacturer —further advancing the campus as a hub for creative production, cultural programming, and inclusive economic opportunity along Sunset Park’s working waterfront.

MADE’s mission is to support the next generation of makers shaping the future of urban industry. This new lease with Stickbulb represents over 27,000 rentable square feet of newly leased space in 2026, underscoring MADE’s increasing appeal to forward-thinking design and fabrication companies drawn to collaborative environment and state-of-the-art facilities.

“At MADE Bush Terminal, NYCEDC continues to bring together design, manufacturing, and artistic partners to expand opportunity for all New Yorkers,” said NYCEDC Interim President and CEO Jeanny Pak. “We're thrilled to welcome Stickbulb to the MADE campus, further strengthening Sunset Park's working waterfront as a hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive economic growth.”

“We're excited to be expanding Stickbulb's operations and beginning our next chapter at MADE Bush Terminal. As we continue to grow, it was important for us to remain in New York City—a place that has shaped our company from the beginning. This move gives us the opportunity to increase our manufacturing capacity, invest in our team, and continue designing and building American-made lighting while contributing to New York City's vibrant manufacturing community,” said Stickbulb Co-founder Christopher Beardsley.

Stickbulb, known for its sustainably-made lighting that merges design, technology, and advanced fabrication, will expand its operations at MADE Bush Terminal, bringing production, design, and showroom space together within a collaborative industrial environment. The relocation marks significant growth for Stickbulb, which is moving from Long Island City to a larger footprint. Stickbulb has signed a long-term lease for 8,300 square feet on 5th floor of Building A and an additional 19,000 square feet in Building B at the MADE campus.

NYCEDC’s Sunset Park District spans 200 acres of the South Brooklyn waterfront and includes four major industrial campuses—the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT), South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT), MADE Bush Terminal, and the Brooklyn Wholesale Meat Market (BWMM). This announcement builds on Sunset Park’s industrial legacy and NYCEDC’s commitment to modernizing historic assets and driving industrial growth, innovation, job creation, and community-centered economic development.

Located at the heart of Brooklyn’s historic waterfront, MADE Bush Terminal—short for Manufacturers, Artisans, Designers, and Entrepreneurs—is a reimagined industrial mixed-use campus that integrates modern manufacturing space with cultural and community uses. The campus includes approximately 140,000 square feet of industrial workspace, 30,000 square feet dedicated to cultural and public programming, and acres of new public open space—blending industry, creativity, and public access in a way that reflects the city’s commitment to inclusive growth and neighborhood investment.

Recent leasing activity underscores MADE’s momentum including:

• Last May, NYCEDC announced a new lease signing with Makelab, a Brooklyn-based on-demand 3D printing service for rapid prototyping, medical models, and production parts—signed a 5‑year lease for 3,840 rentable square feet on the 5th floor of MADE.
• Last November, NYCEDC announced three new lease signings at MADE Bush Terminal with tenants PELLE, Aripack, and MushLume, with each company brings a sophisticated, design-centric approach that blends creativity with technical expertise.
• Last December, NYCEDC launched a new cultural partnership with Public Service to re-envision a 1,000-capacity venue within MADE, that will feature dynamic programming spanning live music, large-scale art installations, and public and private event typologies.

NYCEDC is further enhancing public access to the waterfront through the reconstruction of Pier 6, opening the shoreline to Sunset Park residents and New Yorkers for the first time in decades. Looking ahead, the next phase of development will reimagine Building C for manufacturing, light industrial, and public-serving uses—strengthening MADE’s role as a driver of inclusive economic opportunity in Brooklyn.

By curating a mix of craft-based and high-tech tenants, NYCEDC continues to foster a dynamic ecosystem that supports small, strengthens the working waterfront, and positions Sunset Park as one of New York City’s leading businesses hubs for modern manufacturing and innovation.
