Standard Motor Products Building

Adaptive reuse by Acumen Capital Partners of the 330,000 sf Standard Motor Products Building in Long Island City. A 7-story commercial loft building from 1919, the converted property is now home to a variety of businesses, including media, technology, design, fashion, and film. Tenants include the Jim Henson Company, the Franklin Mint, Kingswear International and I-Grace Construction.

The building’s transformation has received awards from the US Green Building Council of New York and the Queens Chamber of Commerce, and includes the installation of a 42,000 sf rooftop farm, one of the largest in the world and the first for the Brooklyn Grange.
