French-American private school Ecole is moving and growing. It signed a long-term lease for 46,000 square feet at Williams Equities’ 120 E. 23rd St., a 1913-vintage, 250,000 square-foot commercial building.
Ecole will occupy the entire second and third floors and part of the ground floor as part of a “building within a building.” The lease begins in October of 2025, in time for the new semester. Colliers’ Michael Berger represented the school while Robert Getreu, a Williams principal, acted for the landlord.
“The École had a strong desire to develop a state-of-the-art academic facility and accommodate its growing student population within this dynamic neighborhood,” Berger said.
Asking rents in the building are in the high $60s per square foot.
The kindergarten through eighth grade school is currently housed at 111 E. 22nd St.
Luxury clothing brand L’Agence signed a lease for a 3,300 square-feet, two-level boutique at 956 Madison between East 75th and 76 streets. It will move from a smaller space two blocks north in the first quarter of 2025.
Lee & Associates’ Peter Braus, who repped the landlord, said, “We are proud to help L’Agence expand on Madison Avenue and continue its impressive future growth.” Dallimore & Co.’s Simon Dallimore repped the tenant.
