FOR LEASE: Long Island City’s SMP Building Sticks To Industrial Roots While Meeting Office Demands

Welcome to the Standard Motor Products Building, or SMP, a multitenant office, flex and light industrial building in Long Island City designed to encourage collaboration and creativity.

SMP is a 330K SF, six-floor creative office building just steps from Astoria’s design district. SMP is at the heart of innovation, surrounded by new and planned residential developments, reimagined historic buildings, green space and an array of restaurants and nightlife.

Built in 1919 and renovated in 2010, RXR’s $14M renovation to restore the liveliness of the space has turned the SMP Building into a place where creativity can flow and business can thrive.

ABOUT THE ASSET

Today’s tenants want flexibility and unparalleled access to amenities. To further align with the ever-changing needs of the modern office market, SMP offers bright and airy white-boxed spaces and pre-built office suites, along with a variety of ground-floor retail spaces with 14-foot ceilings for restaurants, shops, industrial and flex uses, art galleries or event space. Each floor has wide column spacing and 12-foot, 4-inch ceilings, creating a sense of openness that can further companywide collaboration.

Amenities at the SMP Building include a ground-floor café, a recently renovated main lobby, a conference room and a 3,500 SF common space where tenants can socialize, eat lunch or simply take five.

SMP’s neighbors will also include Innovation QNS, a 3,190-unit multifamily development coming to Astoria. The project will feature 12 buildings across five blocks, in addition to about 2 acres of public green space, a grocery store and 200K SF of shops and medical offices.
