195-197 Chrystie Street, located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, possesses a rich historical context. The site was originally part of the second African American burial ground, established in 1795 at the west side of Chrystie Street, between Stanton and Rivington Streets. This burial ground was used by the African Society, a group of free black Episcopalians, to bury Black individuals of all denominations and statuses in New York City.

In 1827, the ownership of the burial ground was transferred to the trustees of St. Philip's Church, an African American Episcopal parish founded in 1809. The cemetery remained in use until 1835, when it became full, leading to the interment of remains in shallower graves than legally permitted. In 1852, St. Philip's sold the cemetery property and, in 1853, reinterred remains at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn.

The original cemetery site at Chrystie Street was redeveloped. The current building at 195-197 Chrystie Street was constructed in 1920 and features a nine-story structure.

Panelz USA Testimonial

To whom it may concern, I want to thank Dorothy Kolev and Optimal Spaces Inc. for the excellent job they did in finding us our space. Dorothy made many presentations to us but never lost interest or gave up, she was fast and efficient in locating spaces that met our needs and corporate image, aggressive in negotiating on our behalf, and effective in communicating our needs to the landlord and getting our offer accepted. We are very satisfied with the services of Optimal Spaces Inc. I have recommended her and Optimal Spaces Inc. to friends and colleagues. Sincerely, David Yagerman Panelz USA SHOWROOM 20 West 22nd St, Suite 908 New York, NY 10010

🤝 Tenant Representation: Optimal Spaces acts exclusively as a "Tenant Broker," only representing tenants, never landlords. ⚖️ Unbiased Service: Avoiding conflicts of interest, they provide impartial service, showing a wider range of properties and negotiating the best price. 🗂️ Comprehensive Process: Agents guide clients end-to-end, offering market surveys, floor plans, pricing expectations, and industry contacts. 🐷 Cost Savings: They negotiate rental price and identify/abate "hidden costs."
Why Optimal Spaces – Tenant Broker ✓ No fee for clients renting space. We work for YOU, not the landlord. Save 15–20% on your business costs. Save 100–200 hours of research. Access to all available spaces. Specialized real estate expertise. Alone or with other broker ✕ Miss deals and hard-to-find spaces. Potential conflict of interest (often represent landlords). Only 10% of available spaces are online. Lack of specialized expertise. May not get the best terms or uncover hidden costs.
Why Use a Tenant Broker: Your Advocate in Commercial Real Estate 1. The Crucial Distinction: Whose Side Are They On? LANDLORD REP (Listing Agent) Fiduciary Duty: LANDLORD (Highest Rent, Best Terms for Landlord) FORLEASE TENANT REP (Tenant Broker) Fiduciary Duty: TENANT ONLY (Lowest Rent, Best Terms for Tenant) LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD 2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing 3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory 4.
