Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof & Community Engagement Center

You are approaching a surprising transformation of urban space. Atop the industrial headquarters of a major film studio sits a thriving, twenty-five-thousand-square-foot meadow. This green roof sits directly above one of the largest terrestrial oil spills in United States history and overlooks the heavily polluted Newtown Creek. Instead of industry, the rooftop now hosts native grasses, wildflowers, and a variety of pollinators, serving as a sanctuary in a neighborhood defined by its industrial past.
