Brooklyn Bridge Park employees will soon have new offices – and in the heart of the 85-acre project.

The city’s Brooklyn Bridge Park Corp. yesterday began soliciting bids from contractors interested in renovating a former industrial building on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront, so it could be provide 7,500 square feet of office space for park officials, security officers and maintenance workers.

The renovated first-floor space at 334 Furman Street, a three-story building also known as “Building 50,” should be fully occupied by the fall, officials said.

The first floor is now used by the nonprofit Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy, which raises funds for park programs. The Conservancy will share space with the city development corporation but might eventually seek new headquarters, officials said.

The second floor is currently used as storage and the third floor is vacant.

The work includes the full renovation of the first floor and installation of a fire standpipe and associated cellar fire pump system.

The park’s general project plan includes an option to allow up to 50 residential units at the site, but the city is now studying whether it can build the park out without adding new housing to fund a $16.1 million maintenenace budget.

Of the 1,200 units of housing once planned for the park, only 450 have gone up at the One Brooklyn Bridge Park condo complex across the street from 334 Furman Street.
