The New York Industrial Building houses approximately 120,000 ft2 of industrial space within a 24,000 ft2 footprint: that would be three Portland city blocks in a single-story open design. We’ve made the inside spaces endlessly flexible; each floor can accommodate up to 14 tenants—one tenant can take an entire floor or anything less. Two loading docks and two elevators (one for people and one for freight) allow for easy access to renter’s spaces. Each floor has consolidated common areas for bike storage, showers, restrooms and cleaning closets. And the 6 story building is designed to reference Portland’s rich vertical industrial past while modernizing its environmental impact with natural lighting, natural ventilation, green roofs, and storm water planters. Vertical industrial construction symbolizes our belief in dense, diverse urban cores. Reintegrating industry into city life means that not just office workers will live in our urban areas. The New York is a prototype of what we hope will be the norm in our more sustainable, self-sufficient, and socially equitable future metropoles.
