Taconic Partners understands the importance of flexible, well-designed research labs with effective infrastructure and services - but they also understand that the most successful and compelling places for science offer spaces for gathering, collaborating and growing. Great to see West End Labs lauded for it design and for its adaptive reuse of this building steeped in the history of innovation from an earlier time. Congrats to Taconic on “driving” such an exciting addition to the New York City Life Science ecosystem!
Our West End Labs (WEL) project is "making a statement" on the latest cover of Interior Design Magazine! Originally built in the 1920s to move and repair cars, the reinforced concrete structure and automotive helix of 125 West End Avenue now move ideas within a fresh physical and cultural framework. Reimagining the look, feel, and systems for cutting-edge research and development, this New York gem on the mostly residential Upper West Side has been adaptively reused and transformed into a modern hub for life sciences. Today, WEL inspires the next generation of scientific discoveries and innovations. “The charge was to make the building smart, attractive, and effective for potential tenants, to organize it for a variety of start-ups and accommodate them as they grow over time,” says Bill Harris, our Northeast regional director.
