George Gordon Real Estate's Bob Patel represented Smarter Toddler in the transaction and worked closely with the school to identify optimal locations for Smarter Toddler's first Brooklyn location. Formerly the home of another preschool, the original 4,000 square foot space was extended by combining an adjacent retail storefront and transformed into state-of-the-art facilities and classrooms.

"17 North 6th Street at The Edge is the perfect entry into Brooklyn for Smarter Toddler," said Mr. Patel. "Williamsburg is a vibrant neighborhood that has rapidly become a haven for local and national retailers, and in recent years young families that are putting down roots in one of the city's most artistic and cultural destinations. There is a lot of development going on here and the already thriving residential market is primed for phenomenal growth. We were able to secure a great multi-year deal for Smarter Toddler who will help serve the community's increasing demand for quality childcare services."

"We are so excited to call 17 North 6th Street our new home in Williamsburg," said Smarter Toddler Co-Founder, Kettia Ming. "The moment we saw the space we fell in love with it and saw the opportunity to bring Smarter Toddler's signature brand to life. There are large windows throughout that bring a lot of natural light into the classrooms and hallways. The bright open spaces allow us to create the energetic and inviting environment we look for in all of our locations. Being so centrally located in the neighborhood affords us the opportunity to meet the needs of the families here and we look forward to becoming a resource to the entire community."

Constructed in 2008, Madison Marquette's Edge Condominium is a 64,000 square foot LEED Gold certified retail and residential condominium consisting of two separate towers that house 1,350 residential units. Residents enjoy water and skyline views as well as access to the East River Ferry, the L train, Brooklyn Queens Expressway and Williamsburg Bridge.
