2020 saw a lot of difficulty and changes for everyone. The theatrical and live events community has been one of the industries most affected by the pandemic. Millions found themselves without the opportunity to do what they do best, put on a show. Those in the educational system, where most get their start, have found it especially problematic to teach or learn the trade given the restraints and limited resources. Fortunately, Canto USA was able to find a way to help.

With Manhattan in dismay, Brooklyn came to play.
With more people staying home in the outer boroughs this year, retailers came to them, signing leases for some major square footage.
But half of the year’s largest leases were signed in January and February, before the impact of the pandemic became clear.
The deals varied greatly. Some were your traditional clothing store or gym, while others consisted of night clubs and even schools. Educational users accounted for two of the 10 largest leases by square footage, with another taking the 11th spot.
