Connect at the Triangle

Embedded in the beautiful tree-lined streets of West Harlem, Innovation Triangle-West Harlem connects the world renowned campuses of Columbia University, City College of New York and the four-acre 1.5mm rsf Factory District. The Triangle is without equal, boasting the greatest concentration of academic/research excellence and innovation culture in New York City.

Situated on New York’s beautiful Hudson River, our neighborhood is full of culture, energy and warmth.From the mid-19th to early-20th century, the Factory District was an energetic industrial neighborhood of innovation. One hundred years later, the Factory District has become one of the most exciting innovation hubs in New York. The District starts with the natural urban beauty of the area, fronting on the bustling West 125th Street, but centered at the quiet and unique intersection of West 126th and 127th streets and its striking brick and bluestone buildings. The Janus masterplan overlays an independent series of mid-block landscaped passageways and plazas connecting West 125th Street to 128th Street through our beautiful campus. This unique series of outdoor spaces ties the main entrances of the 350,000 rsf Taystee Building with the 200,000 rsf Malt House, 50,000 rsf Sweets Building and 150,000 rsf Mink Building together with beautiful landscaping and numerous places to gather, hold an outdoor meeting or just enjoy an Autumn day.
