Open Impact Real Estate (Open) announced that Kaplan Career Academy, part of the Greenburgh-North Castle Union Free School District, has signed a new, 15-year lease for 38,500 square feet at 29 Marshall Rd. in Wappingers Falls, N.Y. The new long-term lease ensures a new home for the Special Act School, which serves students with disabilities.
The new space, formerly occupied by Dutchess Community College South, will be adapted to meet the needs of Kaplan’s students and staff, allowing the school to increase its enrollment and serve students as young as 5 up to 22 years of age. Kaplan Career Academy will relocate from its current location at 623 Blooming Grove Turnpike in New Windsor, N.Y. to 29 Marshall Rd. Wappingers Falls for the upcoming school year.
“We are thrilled to have found a new home for Kaplan Career Academy that will allow the school to continue providing essential educational services to the community,” said Alexander Smith, senior vice president of Open. “This new space not only ensures stability for the school community and preserves an educational use for the property but also enables the expansion of the school to serve a greater area and increase enrollment and the age range of students it serves.”
29 Marshall Rd. offers spacious classrooms and facilities conducive to a dynamic learning environment. The relocation marks an important step in securing Kaplan’s long-term presence in the region, ensuring continuity for students who rely on its specialized programming.
Stephen Powers, Alexander Smith and Kate Whitman of Open represented Kaplan Career Academy in the transaction, while the landlord, Marshall 31 LLC, was represented inhouse by Thylan Associates.
