In this narrated office tour, Joe Apfelbaum welcomes visitors to Ajax Union’s space inside Dumbo Heights WeWork in Brooklyn. He outlines subway routes (F to York Street, A/C to High Street‑Brooklyn Bridge) and nearby parking options, then explains that guests should enter the building at 81 Prospect even though the office address is 77 Sands Street. After signing in at reception, visitors are notified and can take the elevator to the 7th floor, where the accessible bathrooms are located. He describes the unique floor‑level relationship caused by the hill‑top construction— the 7th floor of one building aligns with the 6th floor of the other— and guides guests across a sky bridge to the 6th‑floor lobby featuring indoor event space, couches, phone booths, ping‑pong, and complimentary drinks. He mentions the Honesty Market for snacks, the possibility of being escorted by an Ajax Union employee, and the layout of the office corridor (turn right for a quicker route). Finally, he highlights the rooftop access, offering panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, multiple bridges, and the Statue of Liberty, encouraging visitors to take a selfie.
