STUDIOS successfully repositioned 2100 49th Avenue. The historic building—once a training school and office space, was then used for storage. Related Management Company contracted STUDIOS to complete a renovation of the building into office and retail space that will attract new tenants.
The Paragon Building offers a tremendous opportunity to marry old and new in a historic building—to create world-class commercial office space catering to today’s technology, advertising, and media tenants. The location is close to the LIE, LIRR and the 7 and G subway lines that connect to Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island. The building also anchors the edge of the vibrant new neighborhood developing in Hunterspoint. The design encompasses upgrades to the core, schematic design of tenant and tenant amenity space, new ground‑level retail storefronts, and a rooftop addition.
