Möbius Industries and Alquist have signed leases totaling 10,000 square feet at Industry City, Brooklyn's six-million-square-foot industrial complex in Sunset Park. Möbius Industries, which develops AI-powered systems to convert urban waste into reusable raw materials, secured a three-year lease for approximately 7,000 square feet. Alquist, the second robotics tenant, took the remaining space, though lease terms were not disclosed. Both companies will use the facilities for robotics programming and operations.
Manufacturing Hub Momentum Industry City has emerged as a significant cluster for advanced manufacturing and robotics companies in New York. The 16-building complex, which spans between 32nd and 41st Streets along Brooklyn's waterfront, offers the combination of affordable industrial space and proximity to talent that robotics firms require. The latest leases continue a broader trend of technology companies seeking manufacturing-capable real estate in urban locations rather than traditional suburban industrial parks.
Waste Robotics Expansion Möbius Industries' lease reflects growing commercial interest in AI-powered waste processing technology. The company's systems use computer vision and robotic sorting to identify and separate recyclable materials from waste streams, addressing urban municipalities' challenges with contamination in recycling programs. The Brooklyn location positions Möbius near its target market of dense urban areas generating significant waste volumes while providing access to the region's robotics engineering talent pool.
