On November 4th, 2025, the creator and social agency Whalar Group is set to unveil its latest project, The Lighthouse Brooklyn, a 34,000-square-foot creator campus located in the historic Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory in Greenpoint.

The new campus features a range of amenities tailored specifically for creators, including podcasting studios, test kitchens for food-focused creators, sound stages, photography studios, a music studio, edit bays, and a digital lab. The space also boasts a library, salon, collaborative and private workspaces, a screening room, theater, bar, coffee shop, and several event spaces, including a 6,000-square-foot waterfront rooftop terrace overlooking the East River.
To celebrate the grand opening, Whalar Group will host a two-day festival in Greenpoint on November 8th and 9th. The event will feature an album release with rapper Danny Brown, a conversation with advertising legends David Droga and Sir John Hegarty, and interviews with actresses Ana Gasteyer and Amber Tamblyn. Other programming includes a screening of New York Nico's "26.2" documentary, a DJ set by Stretch Armstrong, and discussions with various creators.
