The Peninsula - Bldg 1A · Property For Lease

The Peninsula Building 1A is part of a dramatic re-imagining of the now-demolished Spofford Youth Detention Facility lot. The building broke ground in July 2019 and is slated for completion November 2020. Building 1A is part of a multi-use campus that includes the development of 700+ affordable housing units and newly landscaped public plaza space. Located on the corner of Tiffany Street and Spofford Avenue in Bronx, NY, Building 1A is nestled in the historic food-industry neighborhood of Hunts Point, Bronx. Nearly 10,000 people work each day in the Hunts Point Market, less than 1 mile away, handling over 4 billion pounds of food each year for 23 million metro-area residents. The building offers up to 10 individual light-industrial spaces with 1500-3000 square feet for businesses looking to grow. Three spaces can support small retail frontage facing public sidewalks, and two face onto a landscaped public plaza. The intended use for these 10 spaces is light food production for businesses in the food and beverage sector. Tenants will include bakers, coffee roasters, caterers, pastry operations, beverage manufacturers, prepared foods producers, retail CPG food brands, and more. Several of the spaces can be combined to create areas in the 4000-5000 square foot range. The building also features a massive free-span space (11,000 sq.ft.) overflowing with natural light from street-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows as well as a stunning ceiling filled with north-facing clerestory windows. This space's intended use is for media-oriented companies that have need for ample space and a "lightbox" function — photographers, video producers, mixed media studios, etc. 1A is designed with tenant needs and flexibility in mind. Each space will be equipped for individual utility metering, waste hauling will be taken care of by landlord, and security cameras will be on exterior and in common spaces with direct connection to a central station. Each space will be delivered 'white box' with sealed concrete floors, painted white walls, and basic overhead lighting installed. Grease waste lines, floor drains, and black iron ducting for exhaust hoods are provided in each space. The elevators and ground floor are flush to the raised loading bay for easy cargo load-on and load-off. The building has a lobby space for visitors and includes a ramp for smaller cart deliveries. In addition to available parking on the Peninsula campus, there are 11 NYC bus routes that stop within a few minutes walking distance and 5 subway stops (2,5,6 trains). With proximity to the Bruckner Expressway and just over the river from the FDR Drive in Manhattan and Astoria, Queens, your products will get to any major business district in New York City in under 30 minutes.
