Lopez and Wadler of Kalmon Dolgin arrange 18,000 s/f for Dock Studios

 

 

Brooklyn, NY Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates (KDA) has arranged a new, 18,000 s/f, long-term lease at 349 Scholes St. in East Williamsburg for Dock Studios, a provider of artist workspace. The deal will double the studio’s square footage in the area. 

Vincent Lopez and Jacques Wadler of KDA represented the tenant, Dock Studios, and the landlord, Meisel-Peskin, in lease negotiations. 

Dock Studios will occupy the entirety of the three-story space, which was recently upgraded after spending 90 years as the fur manufacturing facility for Meisel-Peskin. Dock Studios will use the full 18,000 s/f across three stories for artist workspaces. 

In 2014, Lopez and Wadler arranged a 16,000 s/f lease for Dock Studios’ second location at 1006 Metropolitan Ave. in East Williamsburg. The company also has a studio at 1027 Grand St. 

“After closing its fur business, Meisel-Peskin completely renovated 349 Scholes St., adding features that would cater to tenants looking for quality creative/industrial space in Brooklyn,” said Neil Dolgin. “With its roots in East Williamsburg, Dock Studios was searching for a large space that would be close to its two other locations. The large windows on all four sides provide an abundance of natural light, which allows Dock Studios to build fantastic studio space.” 

The newly renovated 349 Scholes St. features 13-foot ceilings, new windows, an automatic freight elevator that stops on all three floors, gas heat and heavy power. The building is also fully sprinklered. A loading dock with paved land is adjacent to the building, and Dock Studios will have exclusive access. Transportation options include the L subway and B60 bus route, access to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, and several major thoroughfares like Metropolitan Ave.
