Mink Building The Mink Building, located at 1361 Amsterdam Avenue between 126th and 128th Streets, is a five-story red brick structure in the Harlem/Manhattanville neighborhood of New York City. Towering over most of its neighbors, it is recognizable because of its historical German-American style. The Mink Building was built in 1905 as the main building for the Bernheimer and Schwartz Pilsener Brewing Company. It was their purpose to create a building that also served as a symbol for their business, and though their business is long gone, the building continues to broadcast its presence in the area. The Mink Building has undergone multiple transformations in use, although not form, over the last century. Its nickname comes from its use in the 1950s as a storage facility for fur coats, although it is now a mixed-use facility with few tenants. The Mink Building is currently playing an important role in efforts to revitalize business and commerce in Harlem. The real estate agency of Cushman and Wakefield along with the owner, the Janus Property Company, are pushing to lease more of the 137000 sqft to new tenants to achieve this goal.
