Brooklyn's Sunset Park Gets a New Hub For Live Events

A new live music and arts venue is coming to the Brooklyn waterfront. 

The New York City Economic Development Corporation on Thursday said it has formed a partnership with with Public Service, the creative studio of Public Records, led by founders Shane Davis and Francis Harris. The partnership will open a 1,000-person-capacity venue within MADE Bush Terminal in Sunset Park, and will feature live music, large-scale art installations, and public and private events.

The Public Service team will help shape year-round programming that reflects the diversity and creativity of the Sunset Park community, officials said.

“MADE Bush Terminal is redefining what a modern manufacturing and creative district can be while breathing new life into a historic space,” NYCEDC President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Kimball said in a statement. “With the team behind Public Records, we are building on this momentum through a new dynamic music and arts venue that truly exemplifies MADE's role in New York City's future cultural landscape—a place where world-class design and local entrepreneurship come together to revitalize Sunset Park’s industrial wa­terfront and create a thriving ecosystem for creativity, innovation and growth.”

Public Service is leading the project’s vision in collaboration with nArchitects, MADE’s project-wide architects, ARUP, and lighting artist collaborator Ben Kreukniet of BK Studio.

"Our creative practice is particularly inspired by opportunities to re-envision and re-enliven historic spaces through design, hospitality and artistic curation,” said Davis. “To do so in concert with a project dedicated to supporting the greater arts and production community in New York aligns perfectly with our organizational interests and aspirations.”

The venue is expected to open in late 2026.
