MADE Bush Terminal signs leases with PELLE, Aripack, and MushLume - brokered by NYCEDC

Brooklyn, NY — The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) has completed three new lease signings at MADE Bush Terminal, the city’s recently opened hub for creative manufacturing, design, and production industries in Sunset Park.

The new tenants — PELLE, Aripack, and MushLume—add more than 20,000 rentable s/f of leased space at the property in 2025, reflecting growing demand from design- and fabrication-focused companies seeking modern industrial space within a collaborative environment.

“The newest tenants at MADE Bush Terminal – PELLE, Aripack, and MushLume – represent the next generation of modern manufacturing centered around design, sustainability, and the co-location of small businesses,” said NYCEDC president and CEO Andrew Kimball. “These companies’ decision to locate to MADE is a reflection of how NYCEDC’s strategic investments in Sunset Park’s industrial waterfront are creating a thriving ecosystem for production, innovation, and growth.”

“This move allows us to unite all facets of our operations — design, fabrication, and client engagement — within a space that reflects our overall vision for the studio. New and exciting additions include a dedicated painting studio, state-of-the-art workrooms for lighting and cast-paper production, and the Pelle Gallery. We’re thrilled to join the MADE community and build a long-term home here,” said PELLE co-founder and creative director Jean Pelle.

“This move to MADE represents more than just a new address; it’s a reflection of Aripack’s commitment to collaboration, production, and innovation. By bringing our entire team under one roof in this dynamic space, we’re creating an environment where great ideas can flourish and our partnerships with customers can deepen. Brooklyn has been our home since 2004, and we’re excited to strengthen our roots in this borough’s thriving entrepreneurial community. MADE is the perfect platform for our next chapter of growth,” said Aripack CEO Isak Bengiyat.

“We are thrilled to be joining the unique community at MADE Bush Terminal and to be expanding our operations within a larger footprint. The new space will allow us to scale production, hold greater inventory volumes, and streamline our R&D efforts, while also providing a showroom space against an iconic waterfront backdrop with views of lower Manhattan. Maintaining a Brooklyn-based location for our sustainable, biofabrication business has always been our goal and we couldn’t imagine a better fit than the ecosystem that the Economic Development Corp. has been fostering at MADE,” said Danielle Trofe, founder and biodesigner.

PELLE, a Brooklyn-based design studio specializing in sculptural lighting and furniture, signed a 10-year lease for 11,960 rentable s/f on the fifth floor. The space will serve as the company’s expanded headquarters, consolidating offices, production workshops, and gallery space. The firm is relocating from Red Hook.

Aripack, a packaging solutions company focused on custom flexible and rigid packaging, signed a five-year lease for 6,000 rentable s/f on the fifth floor. The family-owned business is relocating from East New York and plans to move in December 2025. Aripack was represented by Nechama Green Liberow of Pinnacle Realty.

MushLume, a Brooklyn-based sustainable lighting studio working with mycelium-based materials, signed a three-year lease for 2,510 rentable s/f on the fifth floor. The space will support production and product development. Build-out is expected to begin this fall, with operations commencing in early 2026.

MADE Bush Terminal — short for Manufacturers, Artisans, Designers, and Entrepreneurs—comprises 140,000 s/f of modern industrial workspace, 30,000 s/f dedicated to cultural and public programming, and five acres of new parkland and open space. The redevelopment is part of a broader effort to revitalize Sunset Park’s waterfront as a manufacturing and innovation corridor supporting small businesses, workforce development, and community engagement.
