Manhattan-based Tana Seybert LLC, which offers commercial and digital printing, advertising prepress services, and bindery and mailing services, plans to lease and renovate seven condominium units comprising about 140,000 sf at a cost of approximately $26.2 million. The seven units will serve as one facility to house the company's operations that are currently located in two facilities. According to the IDA, the new site will be the largest graphic arts complex in the metropolitan area and New York State based on sales and economic activity. The firm considered moving to New Jersey because of higher costs in Manhattan but will be able to stay in New York with IDA assistance. Tana Seybert will receive a mortgage recording tax waiver of $453,750 and approximately $8.3 million in sales and real estate tax benefits. In addition, the company may qualify for up to $417,700 in discounted energy from the Business Incentive Rate program and $345,200 from the city's Energy Cost Savings Program.

After assuming the ground lease, it will expand its occupancy to 188,000 sf and will lease the remaining space to other industrial companies. The project is estimated to cost $7.5 million.
