For tenants like Jennifer Busch, whose family has operated I. Buss and Allan Uniform Company® for generations, the Garment District was a perfect fit when the company moved to 142 West 36th Street eight years ago from Midtown South.
“When our lease was up, Midtown South had gotten much fancier and rents were going up. The Garment District was cheaper and offered us more space, plus the fabric shops were here, making it more convenient for the business.
“There have been a lot of changes since then that have made the neighborhood more palatable; people sit outside and have lunch now, we have food vendors and upscale restaurants.”
