OVERVIEW 7 8 OVERVIEW Something Taystee The Janus Property Company has built a reputation for creativity, integrity and success, becoming a leader in transforming New York s obsolete buildings and underutilized land into newly active and lively neighborhoods. With over 25 years of deep experience developing, building and managing commercial, multi-family and mixed-use projects in New York, Janus recently turned its focus to the Manhattanville Factory District between West 25th and 28th Streets in West Harlem. The District encompasses over three acres of extraordinary industrial buildings and vacant lots. Based on its impressive track record and widespread community support, Janus was selected in a City-wide competition by New York s Economic Development Corporation to develop the old Taystee bakery complex, fronting 25th Street and spanning 400 feet on West 26th Street, into the defining element of the Factory District. Subsequent to the award, the New York State Economic Development Council selected Janus to receive a $0mm grant and New York City created the 5th Special Mixed-Use Rezoning District, allowing Janus the opportunity to bring its exciting vision for the Factory District and the extraordinary new Taystee Building to a delicious reality.
