History of Industry City

Industry City was founded by iconic American entrepreneur Irving T. Bush in the early 20th century, known at the time as Bush Terminal.

It was the first facility of its kind in New York City, which employed more than 25,000 people within its boundaries.

Bush Terminal was one of the original entrepreneurial hubs in the United States. It offered economies of scale for its tenants, saving them on inbound/outbound rail shipments, insurance rates, labor, and rent, so that even the smallest companies could access facilities normally only available to large, well-capitalized firms.

Founders in the 1910’s could have access to private railroad tracks, a "free waterfront," and "a million-dollar factory at your present rental or less", giving them flexibility to rent as little as 5,000 square feet of space.

In today’s dollars, companies were able to save $100,000 to $400,000 annually by locating in Industry City.

Industry City Today

Keeping to the entrepreneurial spirit of the property, the $450 million redevelopment modernized the campus to support the modern innovation economy and bring quality jobs to the waterfront.

Today the campus is home to 550 founder led companies, buzzing with creatives across industries who build their businesses together on campus.
