Although not a typical DumboNYC Then and Now Series photos, below are drawn maps published by Two Tree Management circa 2002 and the newly published map of 2007. Brooklyn Eagle first published a story about these maps back on March 22, 2007. From Brooklyn Eagle:
“The one less cluttered is about five years old and the other one was produced this year. These two maps are worth more than a thousand words. The first one shows an early stage of the creation of this new neighborhood and the new one shows what has happened in about 60 short months since then, including the erection of two new buildings, one at 100 Jay Street and the other at 85 Adams Street…”
Also discussed are the increase in retail stores and art galleries
“For the first map it was possible to display about 23 retail or gallery outlets, almost all clustered between the bridges. It showed four lonely buildings, only one identified, north of the Manhattan Bridge…[The new map] now lists 77 outlets…”

As Brooklyn Eagle states, maybe in less than 5 years, there will be another version showing new buildings, new retail, and a bigger Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The retail aspect of the map is accurate, but several buildings along Jay St, such as #68, were simply not included on the 2002 map, and are now on the 2007 map. They are not new buildings.

Dumbo and Vinegar hill are still under developed. Many of the stores that do exist don’t carry much inventory or have their rents subsidized by Walentas. Retail growth in this area is due to the new, large developments bringing in more residents and speculation about the increase of foot traffic coming from the future waterfront park projects. In my opinion, this is a valid risk and, appearantly, many business owners agree… but I don’t think the pay off is there yet…
Also, growh in the area means more of a tax base for infrastructure improvements. It also increases the leverage the community has to create things like a historic district… so growth and protection of Dumbo’s character are not necessarily at odds.

Just noticed what should have been a pretty obvious typo. They have a building on Water noted as 85 Washington.
