West Elm opens first NYC outlet store at Industry City

Furniture and decor retailer West Elm on Monday opened its first outlet store in New York City. The store occupies 15,000 square feet in Sunset Park’s Industry City complex, which already houses the company’s massive “Makers Studio” workshop. The six million square foot Brooklyn campus is home to a number of furniture and design outlets, including ABC Carpet + Home and Design Within Reach.

Headquartered in Brooklyn since 2002, West Elm opened its Makers Studio at Industry City in 2015. The 113,000-square-foot workshop is used as creative space for the company’s artists and designers and includes an in-house design and photo studio.

According to Jim Somoza, the director of development for Industry City, West Elm’s additional location at the campus reinforces the company’s ties to the borough.

“West Elm is a Brooklyn-born brand, and it is only fitting that they open their first NYC-based outlet at Industry City,” Jim Somoza, director of development for Industry City, said.

“The new location sits among the best-in-class design retail with Design Within Reach, Restoration Hardware, ABC Carpet & Home and Porcelanosa, while also part of a broader creative community of furniture retailers, makers, architects and design firms.”

The store is located in building 4 at Industry City, found at 34 35th Street. It is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
