A legendary property gets a second life
The Silks Building was constructed in Long Island City in the early 20th century. For over 40 years, Scalamandre Silks used the building as a principal production facility, supplying textiles to the White House, Hearst Castle, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other prestigious homes and institutions. During World War II, the building churned out parachutes and uniforms for the war effort.
Time Equities Inc. purchased the property in 2004 and renovated it to modern, multi-loft standards, perfect for small offices, studios, and light industrial uses. The building features over 80 individual suites, common corridors, restrooms and a common on-site lounge for tenant use.
Institutionally owned and managed
Designed for small business, The Silks presents an excellent opportunity to lease stylish, commercial loft spaces in Long Island City. The building is situated in the Dutch Kills neighborhood near hotels, restaurants, and residences. It is in close proximity to buses and highways.
