New satellite office in New York joins the Secaucus, NJ, headquarters.

Promising “crew hospitality” to the Brooklyn production community, Arri Rental has opened a satellite office to accommodate camera rentals as well as prep space, drop-off and pick-up location. Located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Arri Rental Brooklyn Haus is situated near popular studio locations including Broadway Stages, Steiner Studios, Silvercup Studios, and Kaufman Astoria Studios.

With meeting rooms, entertaining spaces, and a café, Brooklyn Haus also has a gathering place for production and crew. “By opening Brooklyn Haus we not only underline our long-term commitment to support New York’s bustling production community and its members,” says Lisa Harp, president of Arri Rental U.S. Camera, via the press release, “but also create an inviting environment for networking, exchanging ideas and listening to customers.”

Arri Rental Brooklyn Haus — coming soon.

This is an auspicious start for Harp, who was appointed President of Arri Rental US Camera just this last November. (Harp worked for Panavision for 27 years prior.) Arri Rental’s headquarters, found in nearby Secaucus, NJ, will remain the center of the full spectrum of Arri Rental services for camera, lighting and grip needs. There is no word yet on a planned open date.

“Having a presence in New York City will bring day-to-day efficiencies for our clients,” adds ARRI Rental’s chief executive, Martin Cayzer, “and, just as importantly, give them a sense of who we are and what we stand for by providing a home-from-home in this vibrant, creative and exciting borough. That and great coffee, of course.”
