Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Signs 40K-SF Lease on UWS
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has signed a three-year lease for 40,000 square feet at West End Collegiate Church’s facility on Upper West Side.
The Collegiate Church property will now be shared by multiple faith communities, marking a new era in spiritual collaboration. The two religious groups will coexist in the building, each with dedicated and shared spaces, including the Sanctuary, gym, multipurpose room, kitchen, and chapel. West End Collegiate Church is also in discussions with a third religious group to join the multifaith campus.
Stephen Powers, Lindsay Ornstein, Amy Lawrence and Julia Fish of OPEN represented the landlord, West End Collegiate Church, in the transaction; Mark Zussman of CBRE represented the tenant, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“West End Collegiate was looking to activate the recently vacated space to support its programmatic and financial goals,” said Stephen Powers, co-founder of OPEN. “The rare combination of a dedicated entrance and access to multiple public assembly spaces appealed to many religious and cultural organizations.”
