Industry City in Brooklyn has become a hub for e-commerce logistics, robotics, and fulfillment companies, with Highline Commerce and Ultra Robotics co-locating to deploy humanoid robots at scale in order fulfillment—a model enabled by affordable real estate and shared infrastructure that rivals cannot replicate in higher-cost tech hubs. If you're building logistics or fulfillment tech outside New York, you're now competing against companies with access to sub-$30/sq-ft warehouse space, enterprise power and fibre, and on-site robotics talent—all at a cost advantage Silicon Valley and suburban logistics parks cannot match. That clustering advantage is real and it's becoming structural.
