NY Liberty to Build a State-of-the-Art Practice Facility in Brooklyn!

The New York Liberty, the reigning WNBA champions, just announced plans for an $80 million, 75,000-square-foot practice facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Set to open in 2027, this facility isn't just about basketball—it's a testament to player well-being and community engagement.

A Player-First Approach

This isn't your average training center. Designed in collaboration with players Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart, along with Populous, this facility prioritizes player needs:

• Revolutionary Locker Rooms: Forget standard lockers; each player gets a private suite with a wardrobe, vanity, and daybed.
• Top-Notch Amenities: Two full practice courts, an outdoor court, a rooftop dining area with private chefs, an indoor/outdoor strength training room, and a full recovery suite with hydrotherapy and more.
• Player-Focused Design: The facility includes an in-house hair, nail, and makeup studio, two private family lounges and nursery areas, reflecting the players' multifaceted lifestyles.

More Than Just Basketball

Beyond player amenities, the facility will boost community engagement through basketball programs and offer a fan-facing experience with retail and hospitality spaces.

The existing building, a four-story former lightbulb factory, will be incorporated into the design. A 40,000-square-foot extension will house the player amenities.
