street-art-muralOn March 27, 2015, SDC, SDC Foundation, and SDC-League Pension & Health Funds relocated to: 321 W. 44th Street, The Plant, between 8th and 9th Avenues just NW of Times Square.

The SDC Real Estate Task Force, Board, and staff reviewed a number of potential buildings, using a matrix of criteria to consider seven key qualities: size, Member benefit, location, livability, brand, up-front cost, and long-term cost. Consistently ranking high on the list was an office space that added value to the Members.

After completing a rigorous selection process, SDC’s Executive Board was thrilled to select The Plant as the Union’s home. SDC Foundation and SDC-League Pension & Health Funds will share the office. All phone numbers and e-mail address are unchanged.

The Videos

Packing and purging aren’t the most exciting activities on which to report, but Board and staff made the most of the opportunity, creating a series of videos to humorously share the long and arduous process.

Special thanks to Executive Board Members Evan Yionoulis, Leigh Silverman and Anne Kauffman, Members Josh Bergasse and Bill Castellino, staff members Randy Anderson, Elizabeth Nelson, Kristy Cummings, Adam Levi, Mauro Melleno, and Barbara Wolkoff, and volunteers Olivia Clement and Angela Santillo for making these films possible.
