Kramer Levin Assists Charter School

School in the Square is a charter school in the Washington Heights and Inwood neighborhoods of Manhattan, bringing together communities and providing a differentiated and inclusive learning environment for its students. In 2016, Kramer represented School in the Square in negotiating the lease for its middle school. The school has flourished since then and needed to expand to include a school for kindergarten through fifth grade. The firm assisted School in the Square in negotiating a lease with a church in Inwood and the Archdiocese of New York. The school will start with kindergarten only and add an additional grade each year over the succeeding five years, therefore, the lease provides for the expansion of space as the school grows. Real estate partner Neil R. Tucker and associate Seth R. Niedermayer worked on the matter.
