As was reported in Crain’s two weeks ago, we are opening our first store at 451 Columbus Avenue, which is between 81st and 82nd street. This is a major milestone for our company and we are very excited to bring our brand to the Upper West Side community.

Everyone keeps asking us the same question: when will you open? In short, its a work in progress. We expect to have a soft-opening in March and then a Grand Opening in late April or early May.

The space itself is going to be unlike any other real estate office. There will be events: exhibits, lectures, art shows, fashion shows, walking tours, and other happenings based out of our store. We are already working with one local public elementary school to curate an event with their students.

And of course, the store will be a welcoming environment for our clients to come talk with us about their real estate needs.

As for the design, well at the moment we are treating that like a State secret. But as we get closer to our launch, I’m sure we’ll release some images of the space. Stay tuned.
