The Silks Building is one of the preeminent loft buildings in Long Island City (Queens, NY). Built in 1938, the building served as the design and production headquarters for the Scalamandre Silks Company for more than 75 years.

The property has recently been historically restored and converted from a single-user manufacturing facility into multi-tenant commercial loft building.

The resulting open lofts are ideal for offices, light industrial uses, showrooms and creative space. Existing tenants include artists as well as users in the decorating, design, architecture, manufacturing, transportation, distribution, construction, consulting and high-tech industries.

The Silks Building is located within minutes of Mid-Town Manhattan (on the N and 7 Trains) and has close proximity to buses and highways. The property is four stories tall and has a total of 110,000 rentable square feet with 12’ high ceilings throughout.

Special Features Include: Large Windows, Tremendous Natural Light, Views of Manhattan, Saw-Toothed Ceilings with Skylights, Restored Original Wood Floors, Wide Column Spacing and Efficient/Usable Floor Area.
