Project Size2,500 SF

ArchitectGensler

In late 2019, Henegan was given the opportunity to partner with Gensler and construct the new New York flagship office and boutique for the remarkable nonprofit organization, Dress For Success. Located in Jamaica, New York, what were once two retail storefronts side-by-side were transformed into a dynamic clothing boutique with on-site office and training facilities. The space serves as a refuge for women in need. Dress For Success provides the tools and skills needed to help women enter the job market and create long-lasting solutions to help realize and achieve their full potential in life. Their mission statement proudly marks the wall at the reception area:

The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. 

Henegan, alongside a very long list of generous subcontractors, manufacturers, and suppliers, performed the entire project pro bono.  In a joint effort by Henegan and Gensler, every square inch of material and labor on the project was donated at no cost to Dress for Success.

Just as women entering the job force need professional attire that suits them, a nonprofit organization needs a workspace that is tailored to its everyday needs. Equipped with a dressing room, clothing storage and “suiting” area, office, conference space, and a library, Dress for Success’s new home on Merrick Boulevard gives them the tools to make an even greater impact in both their community and the world at large.
