NYC Accelerator

Brooklyn Grange designs, builds, and operates vegetated green spaces that retain stormwater, clean and cool the air, and insulate buildings, as well as providing other ecosystem and social benefits. Green roofs and other vegetated infrastructure, including rain gardens, green walls, and trees, are widely recognized as an important part of the sustainable cities of the future. By retaining storm water, vegetated installations help to improve resiliency and water quality in our local waterways. Plants, trees, and soil also soak up carbon and help to offset fossil-fuel-based energy generation. They also cool the air, and when installed on rooftops they insulate buildings and reduce air conditioning costs, helping to increase urban energy efficiency in the summer months. The company works with building owners, architects, and engineers to design green roofs and other vegetated spaces in New York, and has a dozen years of experience doing this work. Brooklyn Grange is also Registered General Contractors, with an OSHA-trained staff, and we install green roofs and other vegetated areas throughout the five boroughs. Finally, the Maintenance and Operations teams care for these installations annually, keeping plants healthy and ensuring the long-term effectiveness and impact of their work.
