Open House New York (OHNY)’s annual fundraiser, the Open City Benefit, is a celebration of the power of place, and the vibrancy of New York City.
The Open City Award recognizes a place of singular importance to the past, present, and future of New York City. This year the spotlight is being shown on the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This year’s event will be held on April 30 at the Dattner Architects-designed Building 303, near the Street Gates. “From a bustling naval shipyard to an urban manufacturing and innovation hub, the Brooklyn Navy Yard is a national model for adaptive reuse and a local driver of inclusive economic growth,” Kristin Labuz, Executive Director, OHNY.
Ruth Ro, partner, has led all Dattner Architects work at the BNY for the last decade. Ruth is being honored on behalf of the 303 team, alongside Beth Rooney, ports Director, PANYNJ, and Lindsay Greene, president, Brooklyn Navy Yard. 303 Sands was the first ground up new building developed by the Navy Yard.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a team that’s helping to shape places in a way that brings new life, opportunity, and resilience to neighborhoods across the city”
