BankNote wins Visionary Award from Bronx Chamber of Commerce

Bronx landmark, The BankNote, received a Visionary Award at the Bronx Chamber of Commerce's Sixth Annual Banquet held at Marina Del Rey. The prize recognized the proven ability of the architecturally-distinct project to create, nurture and develop innovations that significantly improve the commercial environment of the Bronx. Other awards recipients include the New York Yankees, the Wildlife Conservation Society and Capital One. Built in 1909, The BankNote is a 420,000 s/f, four-building office and retail complex which was formerly the home of The American Bank Note Company. The landmark building is being redeveloped through the combined efforts of Taconic Investment Partners and Denham Wolf Real Estate Services. Renovations will include new windows, lobbies, bathrooms, elevators and mechanical systems. As a destination building for creative companies and non-profit companies, notable tenants include Arthur Aviles Typical Theatre, Sustainable South Bronx and The Lightbox-NY.
