Located in Long Island City, just one subway stop from Manhattan, the Standard Motor Products (SMP) Building combines spacious modern design and authentic industrial origins. Since 1919, this iconic property has been the outpost for makers, visionaries, and industrial innovators who helped shape this city. Originally home to the Karpen Furniture Factory, the historic natural light-filled space is now a modern, multi-tenant commercial office building where creators and innovators still do their best work. With suites up to 26,600 square feet, SMP is the perfect creative headquarters and retail destination. 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. 
   
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, showcasing local artists and boasting an acre rooftop farm recognized for green innovation. Industrial-inspired suites feature soaring 12-foot to 14-foot ceilings and enormous, light-filled windows with sweeping views of Midtown and Downtown Manhattan.
