Manhattan Mini Storage
editManhattan Mini Storage is a self storage and moving company based in New York City. It is the largest personal storage company in New York, and one of the largest in the United States.[7] The firm has 17 storage locations throughout the city, open 365 days a year and some of which are open 24 hours per day. Manhattan Mini Storage has approximately 250,000 clients. Facilities include high-tech security system, free concierge, and onsite managers.[8] It also operates a service with Portero through which customers can "dispose of unwanted valuables that clutter their storage units."[7] The firm conducts blind auctions of the belongings of customers who fail to pay their storage bills.[9]
In 2021, StorageMart acquired Manhattan Mini Storage from Edison Properties for over $3 billion.[10]
Hippodrome
editAn office building and parking garage built on the site of the New York Hippodrome in 1951-52 uses the name "The Hippodrome Center."[11][12] Through the 1960s, the modern building was the corporate headquarters of the Charter Communications media publishing company. The building at 1120 Avenue of the Americas between 43rd and 44th Streets in Midtown Manhattan was acquired by the Gottesman family in 1978. A $55 million major modernization of the 21-story building was completed in 2006. Executive Suites offers 160 executive offices, including single rooms and multi-room suites for between one and ten people, and there are also nine conference rooms, accommodating up to 40 people.[13]

Completed in 2007, the building’s amenities include a resident’s lounge and billiards room, fitness center and yoga studio, concierge, security system, and building-wide wireless internet system. The building also houses a mini storage location. It has two commercial retail spaces at street level. One houses NYC's famous il laboratorio del gelato, a small ice cream factory founded in 2002 on the lower east side.[15]
