We visited the Taystee Building showroom, in West Harlem, New York,  and were just amazed to see how beautiful our renderings look with the modern and sleek design that they chose for it.

A building with history

Located on West 125th Street, this property was the former home of the Taystee Cake Bakery, which closed in the late 1970s. In the decades since its closing, the building has been vacant and suffered decay.

In an effort to revitalize the neighborhood, New York City Economic Development Corporation issued an request for expressions of interest for the redevelopment of the Taystee Bakery in November of 2010, according to their webpage.

Janus Partners LLC and Monadnock Construction, Inc. were selected to lead the redevelopment project.

“The redevelopment of the former Taystee Bakery on West 125th and 126th Streets is the newest addition to the Manhattanville Factory District in West Harlem, New York. This new state-of-the-art Class A office building will welcome a broad mix of commercial, technology, media, non-profit, community and retail users to the 125th Street arts and culture corridor, one avenue east of Columbia University’s expanding campus”, writes NYCEDC in their webpage.

“Taystee will offer spaces of a quality and variety that have not been seen before. The iconic design features dynamic and transparent spaces with floor-to-ceiling glass that will be a vital part of this community”

When complete, the Manhattanville Factory District will total almost a million square feet of new mixed-use buildings beautifully interconnected by a series of greenways and courtyards.

• The brochure  prepared by the Taystee’s team with our renderings is also a piece of art that displays all the spirit of this new project. You can download it  here.

And we also invite you to click the next photo gallery, so you can see how our renderings display in their showroom.

Bike commuters will enjoy the convenience of an indoor street level bike concierge just off the building’s west lobby.

Originally a bakery for the Taystee Bread Company, the completely new Taystee Building will contain 300,000 square feet of space.

The Taystee Building is also easy to reach by bus as many major bus routes converge at 125th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.

The Taystee Building will become a central feature of the Manhattanville Factory District, connecting West 125th Street to West 126 Street and beyond, by way of landscaped through-block passageways and courtyards.

Janus has made significant progress on project development since purchasing the abandoned property from the New York City Economic Development Corp. in June of 2012.

The Janus Property Company, in partnership with Monadnock Construction, one of New York’s largest and most highly-regarded construction firms, was selected in 2011 by the New York City Economic Development Corporation to develop this large and important site.

This community bridges the 125th Street arts and entertainment district of the Apollo Theater, Red Rooster, and Studio Museum to the educational communities of Columbia University and City College.

ArX Solutions’ renderings help the clients understand better how the project is going to look like.

Situated on New York’s beautiful Hudson River, West Harlem is a neighborhood full of energy, culture and charm.

When complete, the Manhattanville Factory District will total almost a million square feet of new mixed-use buildings beautifully interconnected by a series of greenways and courtyards.

The district benefits from its convenient location and ease of transportation modes: by mass transit (two blocks from the 1, A, B, C and D trains and from numerous bus lines), by foot, and by bicycle. The building is just one stop on the A and D express trains to Midtown.

Taystee will qualify for an enhanced 25 year Industrial and Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) real estate tax benefit that will significantly reduce tenants’ exposure to real estate tax increases.

The West 125th to 128th Street district immediately surrounding the Taystee Building, known as the Manhattanville Factory District, is comprised of former industrial buildings located on over three contiguous acres.
