OVERVIEW

Located just one subway stop from Manhattan in Long Island City, the Standard Motor Products (SMP) Building combines spacious modern design and authentic industrial origins. Since 1919, this iconic building has been the outpost for makers, visionaries, and industrial innovators who helped shape this city. Originally home to the Karpen Furniture Factory, this historic facility is now a modern commercial office building where creators and innovators still do their best work. A recent $14 million renovation revitalized the lobby, updated the façade, and increased energy efficiency, earning an EnergyStar certification. SMP blends turn-of-the-century charm with modern amenities, like work from local artists and a one-acre rooftop farm recognized for green innovation. Industrial-inspired suites feature soaring 12-14-foot ceilings, and enormous windows offer sweeping views of Manhattan. With suites up to 20,000 square feet, SMP is the perfect creative headquarters. Ground-floor tenants contribute to the SMP Building's unique atmosphere and amenities, which include rotating art exhibits and a seasonal farmstand in the lobby. Positioned on the cusp of Astoria's design district, SMP is primed for this growing community. Building tenants enjoy a culturally rich, post-industrial neighborhood that features new luxury high-rises and repurposed historic buildings, surrounded by museums, galleries, green spaces, and an expanding array of restaurants and nightlife options.
