Empire State Dairy Complex: Modernizing Historic Brooklyn Landmark
The Empire State Dairy complex, located at 2840 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, is a 14-story mixed-use development set for completion in 2024. The project features 320 affordable housing units and combines new construction with the adaptive reuse of the historic Empire State Dairy complex. As part of the development, eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators are installed to enhance energy efficiency and ensure optimal indoor air quality.
Project Background
Designed by Dattner Architects, the project preserves the early 1900s landmarked dairy complex, integrating it with contemporary housing solutions. This mixed-use development combines the adaptive reuse of the early 1900s landmarked Empire State Dairy complex – a former milk production – and new construction. This development highlights the importance of preserving historical structures while meeting modern urban housing needs.
Project Details
The 14-story building, featuring 320 units, is set to be completed in 2024. This mixed-use development seamlessly integrates residential spaces with the adaptive reuse of a historic dairy complex, offering a unique blend of old and new. eFlow contributed to the project in collaboration with SRS Enterprises Inc., the product representative.
Technical Insights

eFlow-CAR FACTS
eFlow-CAR is a simple solution to balancing ventilation systems. Constant Airflow Regulator is a device that automatically regulates airflows in ventilation systems to constant levels. The passive control element responds to duct pressure, and requires no electric sensors, pneumatic sensors or controls. eFlow-CARs promote high indoor air quality and energy savings.
