Those of you who’ve been following our tweets (@signalfive) know that in mid-December, we moved to a new office. Our old building is being converted to luxury condos, so everyone had to move out. Fortunately, we secured a spot in 55 Washington Street. So, we’ve moved one block up the street to the commercial hub of DUMBO, home to Etsy and various other tech startups. The address and map can be found on our contact page.

For a while, it looked like we might have to leave DUMBO. We looked at spaces elsewhere in Brooklyn, and found one in Bushwick that seemed promising. However, the prospect of Shameel living three blocks from the office was too much to bear. (Especially for Shameel). It turned out to be a blessing when the Bushwick deal fell through, and the 55 Washington deal came up.

We moved in, and set up shop in the new space. It has been recently constructed, along with a dozen or so other spaces on the floor. New walls, new floors. The sunlight is blazing in the mornings and afternoons — that special winter light streaming in through 7′ windows.

DUMBO is great, we’re able to participate in events such as Digital Dumbo at Galapagos Art space, other startup-type events. We hope to be even more productive in the new space. Swing by to say hi, or check us out on Google Maps for that ‘virtual tour’. Happy New Year everyone.

After two months of working from some wonderful cafés (Gramstand—sadly it closed down while we were working there on a daily basis; The Mercury Dime, a recent East Village addition, go visit!; and Cocoabar, still alive and kicking), we’ve set up shop. In mid-December SignalFive moved into offices on 35th and 7th Ave, in the Fashion District, a block from Macy’s.

We’re on the 7th Floor of the Mary McFadden building, on 240 West 35th.

It’s a busy little ‘hood, with a lot of hustle and flow. Clothes on racks line the sidewalks, and you can get decent sherpa jackets for $15. Nice hackerwear. Madison Square Garden is two blocks away, and Penn Station is one block away. Pretty much every major subway line is two minutes away! And for what it’s worth, there are two Starbucks on our block, on 7th and 8th Ave, and two Andrew’s Coffeeshops.

We’re hoping to stay here for a while. Come visit and have a glass of port with us:
