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 125th and
128th Streets in West Harlem.
The District encompasses three acres of extraordinary old
industrial buildings and vacant lots. Janus has beautifully
redeveloped and fully leased over 200,000 square feet
of mixed-use commercial and residential projects in the
District. Based on its impressive track record and widespread
community support, Janus and its partner, Monadnock
Construction, were selected in a City-wide competition by New
York’s Economic Development Corporation to develop the old
Taystee bakery complex, fronting 125th Street and spanning
400 feet on West 126th Street, into the defining element of
the Factory District. A Special Mixed-Use rezoning for the
District passed New York’s City Council in November, 2012,
allowing Janus the opportunity to bring its exciting one million
square foot master-planned vision for the Factory District and
the extraordinary new Taystee Building to a delicious reality.

Design matters to Janus. Every detail has been considered.
The award-winning architectural firm, LevenBetts, started
with a site plan that creates a unique mid-block urban
passageway and open plaza that extends from West 125th
Street to the main entrance of the building on West 126th
Street. This broad light-filled green space will feature
beautiful landscaping and numerous places for tenants to
gather, hold an outdoor meeting, or relax and enjoy a work
break. The facades of black steel and large expanses of glass
evoke the area’s industrial architecture, while bringing the
transparency of 21st century architecture to the block.

from outside New York City or from
below 96th Street in Manhattan are
eligible to receive REAP business

per square foot per year.
Taystee tenants are exempt from
the occupancy tax that companies
pay south of 96th Street. This
