From Bush Terminal to a national model
A century of making
Founded by industrial pioneer Irving T. Bush in the early 20th century, Industry City — originally known as Bush Terminal — was the first multi-tenant industrial complex of its kind in New York City and the largest in the United States. Beginning in 2013, a $450 million redevelopment reimagined the dormant industrial campus into a modern innovation district — honoring its historic architecture while building for the industries of today and tomorrow.
