Two New York offices with Nomad, including a 5,500 SF move in under 30 days.

Nomad built Small Door’s first custom headquarters in one of our buildings. When the team outgrew it, Nomad took over the existing lease and moved Small Door into a built office of about 5,500 SF in NoMad in under 30 days.

The challenge

A custom first home, then a larger office on a tight timeline.

Small Door first needed a custom, pet-friendly headquarters that reflected the brand. After the team outgrew it, the priority became a larger built office with no disruption and very little time.

What they needed

  1. 01Custom first headquarters
  2. 02Pet-friendly
  3. 03Brand-forward design
  4. 04Fast second move with no downtime

How Nomad solved it

Brokerage

Two moves, one continuing relationship.

For the first office, Nomad placed Small Door in one of our buildings and coordinated a custom fit-out. When the team outgrew it, Nomad took over the existing lease and moved Small Door into a built office of about 5,500 SF in NoMad within 30 days.

Construction

A custom first fit-out, delivered 30% under budget.

For the first office, our construction team worked with Small Door’s architect to redesign the layout, relocate the wet pantry, source five phone booths at a substantial discount and customize the floor, ultimately delivering the fit-out 30% under the original target budget.

The decision

Why the second move worked.

5,532 SF in NoMad, built and ready, taken over from the existing lease so the move finished in under 30 days.

The result

30%Under budget on first fit-out
<30 daysSecond move completed

A two-office relationship: a custom first headquarters delivered 30% under budget, followed by a move into a built office of about 5,500 SF in NoMad in under 30 days.

“We’ve worked with Nomad Group twice now, and they’ve been fantastic. They found our first location, then helped us move into a larger space by taking over our existing lease, finding a replacement tenant and coordinating the move with no downtime — all in under 30 days. They move fast, do what they say, and are a great team to work with.”
