The Challenge

New York English Academy, a vibrant English language school with over 200 students, faced the considerable challenge of finding a new location in New York City that met the specific legal requirements for an adult language school, including obtaining a certificate of occupancy tailored for educational use. Their goals were to relocate near Penn Station to enhance accessibility and to secure a larger space to accommodate their growing student body.

The Solution

The ideal solution was found on the 2nd Floor of 330 Seventh Avenue, just steps away from Penn Station. This 7,738 square foot space was selected, and the landlord committed to creating a custom-designed space specifically tailored for a language school. This dedication ensured that the new premises would meet all of the academy's needs.

The Outcome

The strategic move to 330 Seventh Avenue not only places the New York English Academy in a location that's more accessible for students and staff but also provides a significantly larger, custom-built environment that is conducive to both learning and teaching. The academy now enjoys a state-of-the-art facility that reflects its commitment to offering top-notch language education, thereby enhancing its profile in the competitive educational landscape of NYC.
