The private French-American school is moving and growing: It has signed a long-term lease for 46,000 square feet in Williams Equities’ 250,000-square-foot commercial building built in 1913 at 120 E. 23rd St.
Ecole will occupy the entire second and third floors and part of the first floor as part of a “building within a building.” The lease is due to commence in October 2025, in time for the new school year. Michael Berger of Colliers represented the school, while Robert Getreu of Williams Principals represented the landlord.
“Ecole had a strong desire to develop a state-of-the-art academic facility to accommodate the growing student population in this vibrant area,” Berger said.
Rents in the building are in the high $60s per square foot.
The kindergarten through eighth grade school is currently located at 111 E. 22nd St.
Luxury clothing brand L’Agence has signed a deal to lease a 3,300-square-foot, two-story boutique at 956 Madison between East 75th and 76th Streets. It plans to relocate in the first quarter of 2025 from a smaller space two blocks north.
“We are proud to support L’Agence’s expansion on Madison Avenue and its continued impressive growth in the future,” said Peter Braus of Lee & Associates, who represented the landlord. Simon Dallimore of Dallimore & Co. represented the tenant.
