The following information was released by Moorestown Friends School
Moorestown Friends School (MFS) has reached an agreement to lease the school’s property at 123 Chester Avenue to InterArch, a well-known architecture and interior design firm. InterArch has begun work to renovate the property.
“InterArch is a vibrant, well-established company and will be a great addition to Moorestown’s Main Street/Chester Avenue business district,” said Larry Van Meter, Head of School.
Moorestown Friends School was represented by NAI Mertz in the process to seek and obtain a tenant for the 123 Chester Avenue property.
In December 2006, Moorestown Friends School purchased the property at 123 Chester Avenue (the former Acme supermarket). After spending a year developing plans for modifying the building for classroom purposes to accommodate record enrollment, the school changed course when the former Greenleaf property at 28–32 East Main Street (which is adjacent to MFS) became available and was purchased by the school in 2008. In April 2012, Hartman Hall opened on the Greenleaf property providing eight math classrooms and a choral music suite for MFS students.
“We were thrilled to open Hartman Hall in the spring and we are now pleased to share the exciting news of this agreement with the community,” said Van Meter. “We look forward to a long-term relationship with InterArch and to seeing an attractive, active and renovated building on Chester Avenue.”
