A developer has been chosen to turn a collection of deserted Civil War-era warehouses along the waterfront at Brooklyn Bridge Park into a new office, dining and shopping destination.

Nearly 80% of the roughly 380,000 square feet of space in the old warehouses will be used for offices. The developer is also in talks with the Brooklyn Historical Society to use about 3,200 square feet of space for exhibitions.
