2424 Studios typically stays at full occupancy and there often is a wait list for units coming available, especially if you are looking for a specific type or size.  Should you be interested in learning about what is available or coming available, please email hannah@2424studios.com.  It is recommended to check in regularly, even once on the wait list, to stay fresh in our minds and because sometimes units come available unexpectedly.

Should you be interested in leasing at 2424 Studios, you will be required to fill out an online application.  The application covers business and financial information and includes documentation of either business or personal financial history and/or a credit check.  The application process may take a few days and all leases are first come first serve.

Leases are typically 1 year or more.  Larger spaces may require longer term leases.

Month-to-month or short term leases are not usually offered, though may be considered on a case by case basis.

Growing and shrinking is fairly common for small businesses and we hope to be able to accommodate businesses throughout their changes.  Many of our tenants have started in small units and gradually grew into larger spaces or vice versa.  The ability to change units will depend on many factors such as availability and time of year, but we try to work with tenants whenever possible.

With a few exceptions, the only utility is electric.  There is no water or gas to most units.  All electric is submetered and billed to tenants directly based on usage.

In addition, all tenants are required to pay Use & Occupancy Tax to the City of Philadelphia.  U&O is a mandatory tax for all commercial leases in Philadelphia.

Lastly, most tenants will procure internet, phone, and/or TV services, though it is optional.  Tenants may procure these services directly from their choice of three providers in the building.

There is a freight elevator but no passenger elevator.  Access to the 2nd and 3rd floors is primarily via the main stairwell.  The freight elevator can be used for transporting furniture and equipment and people may ride on it too, however, they will require assistance from an authorized user.    Should a tenant or visitor require use of the freight elevator, please contact management or maintenance.

There are no shared desks or membership access outside of the leasible units.  All of the units are fully separated and lockable spaces.   All tenants have access to the shared amenities such as the conference room, kitchen and lounge spaces.

If you are interested in sharing space, contact us!  Sometimes existing tenants are looking for additional suite mates.
