Rouzenrouch of Miyad Realty represented Urban Arts Partnership in 11,502 s/f lease at 39 West 19th Street

New York, NY Urban Arts Partnership (UAP), one of NYC's largest and fastest growing arts education organizations, has signed a new, 11,50 s/f lease for the entire 5th floor at 39 West 19th St. It will relocate this summer from 21 Howard St., where it currently occupies 5,000 square feet. "I'm thrilled Urban Arts Partnership is moving to West 19th street as we enter the next phase of growth for our organization and the schools we serve,” said UAP CEO Philip Courtney. “The location is wonderfully situated in the nexus of an inspired arts community, with the entrepreneurial energy of the tech sector, and the ongoing legacy of civic engagement in the nearby Union Square neighborhood. This makes it the perfect new home for UAP." Miyad Realty's Michael Rouzenrouch represented UAP. John Goodkind, director of leasing with Koeppel Rosen LLC, represented the 12-story, 128,657 s/f landmarked building, a long-time Rosen family asset. "We especially liked that 39 West 19th St. is family-owned and managed by two of New York's distinguished multi-generational real estate families," said Rouzenrouch, who is very familiar with the property having placed and expanded existing tenant Left/Right, a television and film company, within the building. “We were impressed with the strength of ownership and quality of the property, and its possibilities for future growth.” According to Goodkind, 11,502 s/f on the 11th floor and 7,025 s/f on the fourth floor are now available for lease. "Koeppel Rosen commends UAP's work in enhancing student potential through intellectual, social and artistic development," said Goodkind. "It's a pleasure to have a nonprofit of this caliber join the ranks of inspiring and creative firms within the Rosen portfolio." Goodkind also added that a lobby renovation coincides with the announcement. Ownership has hired Kahn Architecture to redesign the lobby and bring it back to its original Art Deco elegance.
