Terminal Warehouse

Terminal Warehouse

261-11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001

History

Built in 1891, New York City’s Terminal Warehouse has a rich history. Originally a hub for goods transportation, it served various purposes over the decades. From a train terminal for the NY Central Railroad to storing Broadway sets and providing cold relief during summers.  

The building once accommodated freight trains via a tunnel, but due to incidents at street level, the High Line emerged. In the ’80s, it became “The Tunnel,” a renowned nightclub immortalized in films like American Psycho. In 2001, “The Tunnel” closed, marking the end of an era. But in the early to mid-2000s, the warehouse transformed again, now hosting offices, retail spaces, and galleries.  

Today, ongoing restoration efforts are breathing new life into the building. Recently, landmark shutters were replaced as part of the revitalization. Join us as we contribute to preserving the legacy of this iconic structure

Concrete is one of the most frequently used building materials. It is used extensively for a wide range of construction work, such as footpaths, driveways and roads, residential and commercial construction – floors and walls, foundations and footings, for posts, fences and walls, and even boat hulls.
Precast concrete is typically stronger than natural cut limestone, but it doesn’t have the look of natural cut stone. Cast Stone, on the other hand, solves both problems. Cast Stone can be stronger than precast concrete and is easily cast to produce identical pieces.

Architectural Metals

Architectural metalwork is a unique factor in the building process that involves using metalwork practices to create structures that are not only functional but also have a strong aesthetic role to play too. It is the bringing together of metalwork and architecture.
Architectural steel fabrication often involves the use of decorative elements, such as ornamental railings, staircases, and facades. On the other hand, structural steel fabrication is concerned with the strength and stability of the building.
