The Challenge

Parabolic is a premier recording and editing studio known for its state-of-the-art facilities and longstanding reputation for excellence in audio post-production. Following a successful 10-year lease renewal at 18 West 21st Street, Parabolic set its sights on expansion—this time, for its third location in Manhattan. They wanted to find a rare, competitively priced space that aligned with its unique technical requirements. The goal was to locate a full-floor space with high ceilings and a low loss factor—critical for maximizing usable studio space—while staying within budget in a highly competitive market.

The Solution

Through a focused and targeted search, the perfect match was uncovered at 118 East 25th Street—a commercial co-op building offering a true 4,000 square feet on a full floor with 13’+ ceilings. Delivered as-is and locked in under a 5+ year direct lease, the space provided a rare blend of size, efficiency, and value, meeting all of Parabolic’s needs without compromise.

The Outcome

Parabolic secured its third Manhattan location, expanding its creative footprint and continuing its growth trajectory. The new studio at 118 East 25th is proof that even in a crowded market, the right space is out there for those who know where (and how) to look.
