SLT, an emerging fitness brand, faced the challenge of securing a high-profile location at an accessible price point. After selecting an upper floor in a SoHo loft building, the primary concern became soundproofing—ensuring the new gym would not disturb the building’s residential tenants.
Opening a fitness facility in New York City requires navigating a complex permitting landscape, including the acquisition of a Physical Culture Establishment (PCE) Permit from the NYC Board of Standards and Appeals—a rigorous and often time-consuming process. Crown expertly led SLT through each step, managing both the technical requirements and regulatory approvals.
Through thoughtful planning, precise execution, and effective soundproofing strategies, Crown delivered a space that met all acoustic, operational, and legal requirements. The result was a successful launch in one of Manhattan’s most competitive and desirable neighborhoods—solidifying SLT’s presence in the city’s dynamic fitness scene.
