The Cardinal Building

Office Space for Rent – Long Island City, Queens

In 2001, the Pepsi-Cola plant in Long Island City shut their doors but left their infamous sign preserved for future generations to see. The sign represents much more to Long Island City and its residents; business development, growth, and history. The Cardinal Building has industrial and office space for rent in Queens with three-stories of over 60,000 RSF.

The Cardinal Building works directly with New York City to offer our clients tax breaks, rent credits, and other incentives for businesses looking to grow outside of Manhattan. Long Island City is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods, and we want the Cardinal Building to be at the forefront of this transition.

Neighborhood

The Cardinal Building provides convenient onsite parking and direct access to all major transit platforms. The vibrant and fast-growing neighborhood offers restaurants, bars, cafes, venues, galleries, shopping, and waterfront parks.

Our space is a short walk to the 7, G & Long Island Railroad trains but also has onsite parking.
