Buildings in DUMBO

Most of DUMBO's buildings were built for industry and later converted, so ceilings are high, walls are often masonry, and wiring is frequently run in exposed conduit. Newer residential towers add garages, amenity spaces, and building-wide systems.

  • Converted warehouse and factory lofts
  • Office, studio, and retail tenant spaces
  • Newer condo and rental towers with garages
  • Ground-floor shops and restaurants

FAQ

DUMBO electrical questions

Do you handle office and retail fit-outs?

Yes. We handle power, lighting, and dedicated circuits for commercial tenant spaces, and we work with your architect, contractor, and building management.

Can you install EV chargers in our building's garage?

Yes. We look at the building's available capacity, recommend how many Level 2 chargers it can support, and handle the installation and permits.

Can you work with exposed conduit in a loft?

Yes. In lofts the conduit often stays visible, so we plan clean, straight runs that look intentional.

What does a service call cost?

Service calls are $295 for the first hour of diagnosis or repair and $110 for each additional hour. Emergency service is $450 for the first hour.
