242 East 2nd Street | East Village

An exceptional opportunity to lease approximately 5,900 square feet of turnkey commercial space in the heart of the East Village. Formerly occupied by a nonprofit organization, this thoughtfully designed space offers a rare combination of flexibility, functionality, and value that is difficult to replicate in today's Manhattan market.

Behind its discreet entrance lies an expansive, light-filled interior featuring two dramatic skylit halls, a 32' x 38' great room with operable partition walls, a spacious gallery, seven private offices, conference room, reception area, commercial kitchen, multiple restrooms, storage, and dedicated service entrance. The existing layout has been carefully designed to accommodate both day-to-day operations and large gatherings, allowing for seamless transitions between private offices, classrooms, collaborative workspaces, and event programming.

The commercial kitchen is fully built out with stainless steel workstations, commercial sinks, pass-through service, and grease trap infrastructure, significantly reducing the time and expense required for food-related uses. Throughout the space, abundant natural light from oversized skylights creates an open, inviting environment rarely found in large commercial spaces below Midtown.

Ideally suited for educational institutions, wellness and medical providers, nonprofit organizations, corporate training facilities, creative offices, fitness concepts, production studios, event venues, culinary programs, religious organizations, or other experiential users seeking a move-in-ready headquarters.

At an extremely attractive per square foot, this represents one of the most compelling values for a fully built-out institutional or commercial facility in Manhattan. With immediate availability, modern infrastructure, central HVAC, ADA accessibility, and flexible lease terms, 242 East 2nd Street offers a unique opportunity to establish a long-term presence in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods.
