Executive Summary

Originally built in 1929 as a perfume and jewelry box manufacturing facility, the Box Factory has been
masterfully reimagined as a premier creative commercial destination. The three-story, ~63,000 squarefoot
property was redeveloped into retail and office space in 2017 and stands as one of Queens' most
distinctive adaptive reuse success stories.
Future Development Potential: The building showcases restored industrial character with modern upgrades, including high ceilings (12
ft- 18 ft), oversized windows, updated mechanicals, and ADA accessibility.
Situated on the border of Ridgewood and Bushwick, Box Factory benefits from exceptional connectivity
with the Halsey Street L train two blocks East, as well as "J" and "M" trains nearby.
Ridgewood is one of the City's largest rental growth markets in recent years, and there is very little
large-scale development ongoing. This bodes well for future rezoning opportunities and capturing the
upside of this high-growth submarket. With train and bus access and very little nearby
development, the site is a prime candidate for ULURP. Comparable rezonings to a 5.01 FAR would
result in a substantial increase in property value. A conservative market price per buildable square
foot ($180) would equate to ~$27 million if awarded a 5.01 FAR.

Grand Central Atelier (GCA) sprang from a group of visionary artists who gathered in Jacob Collins’ studio in the 1990’s. Collectively, they worked out an aesthetic sensibility and method rooted in the Renaissance tradition. This training caught momentum and in 2014, GCA became an independent, not-for-profit (501c3) organization. Over these decades, they have built an international reputation as the premiere destination for ambitious artists seeking an authentic classical art education. To support this rising generation of working artists, they have established a resident artist program and a gallery. This year, over 500 students will pass through their studios, and 50 will study in their highly selective four-year Core Program. Under the leadership of Jacob Collins and the guidance of a faculty of dedicated artists, this program has consistently produced the world’s most skilled contemporary realist painters, draftsmen and sculptors.
