About this story

The New York City Economic Development Corporation has launched a Circular Construction Hub at MADE Bush Terminal. Operated by Brooklyn ecological-landscaping firm Our Temenos, the pilot will recover, sort, store and redistribute selected construction materials. In addition to diverting usable material from waste streams, the program is intended to generate operational data about the feasibility of reuse-oriented construction supply chains in New York City. It is the first award made through NYCEDC's Ideas for Impact request for expressions of interest.

Status and timeline

The one-year pilot launched August 25, 2026.

Design highlights

Urban material-recovery infrastructure; construction-component storage and redistribution; lifecycle extension; real-world testing of circular supply-chain logistics inside an adapted industrial campus.
