Communitas Establishes Its First North American Accelerator in West Harlem
Communitas America recently executed a 10-year lease for the entire fifth floor of Building 3 in Janus Property Company’s recently completed Malt House on West 126th Street in West Harlem. The floor contains approximately 7,200 square feet of newly constructed, high-ceiling, column-free space.
Recently designated a New York State-certified Business Incubator along with Cornell Technology Park and Mount Sinai Innovation Partners, Communitas America will create its first North American accelerator at the Malt House. Known as “Heyground” and modeled after two successful precursors in South Korea, the new location will provide space for social innovation and collaboration.
“Communitas’ West Harlem Heyground will highlight the extraordinary architectural features of the Malt House and feature expansive ceiling heights, flexible offices and open spaces that will drive community participation in a wide variety of formats including socializing, small team and individual workspaces, lectures, films and live events,” said Janus president Scott Metzner.
