New York shipping container projects and shipping container related businesses
Used Shipping container restaurants in New York City. Commercial real estate prices in NYC are among the highest in the country, so enterprising restaurateurs are looking for other ways to serve their dining customers. A few food vendors in New York City are serving their menus out of repurposed shipping container restaurants. Rickshaw Dumplings is serving Chinese dumplings and other Asian bites out of a converted cargo container set up in Times Square. Previously, Singapore Takeout operated a pop-up shipping container spot in the Meatpacking District in a New York twist on the famous Singaporean street hawker stalls.
Subway serves sandwiches out of a renovated Conex box at the Freedom Tower in New York. International franchise Subway sandwich restaurant is serving their famous foot long sandwiches in the New York’s Freedom Tower. It started when a used shipping container was turned into a restaurant to help feed the workers that were working on the construction there. A lower initial start up cost is a big reason why converting a sea container is popular with smaller, new restaurants. But as we see in the case of the established brand Subway, new ventures aren’t the only restaurant category that is looking at serving customers out of shipping container restaurants in New York.
SnackBox, Times Square. When did the shipping container restaurant first take root in NYC? Some say it started with The SnackBox restaurant, way before steel container cafes and food vendors were a trend in the industry. SnackBox remains a Times Square attraction that serves scores of eaters every week. The DeKalb Market food complex project was opened as a collection of food and drink vendors and small boutique shops in an inactive construction site in Downtown Brooklyn. Built from 86 “upcycled” Conex containers, DeKalb Market held 14 restaurants and 82 retail spaces as an innovative approach as a temporary business project. In addition to the restaurants and shops, DeKalb Market featured an incubator farm, community kitchen, large event space, and community garden.
Shipping container home developments, Shipping container apartments and tiny homes in New York
Are shipping container apartments the solution to affordable housing in the Bronx? Developer Gold Key Group has teamed up with SG Blocks to put together a proposal to build between 65 to 75 apartments on top of a retail store and a church in a Bronx neighborhood. Affordability and abbreviated construction time are two of the big reasons developers looked to build around empty cargo containers. It is estimated that the building timeline can be shortened by 40 percent and is between 10 to 20 percent lower cost than traditional construction. Galvin, one of the developers behind the project, says that he “hopes this type of construction will become a solution to the housing crisis.” SG Blocks already has several successful container-based projects on their resume. Companies like Puma, Equinox, and Starbucks. Because of the cheap and short construction, the economics allow developers to charge less rent to in-need groups for affordable living. Cargo containers typically measure 8 feet wide and 20 to 40 feet in length, which may be stacked and fitted together to create an apartment complex.
