They've teamed up to provide year-round representation to Cooper-Union students, faculty and staff for that purpose.  They are available to assist the Cooper-Union community throughout the entire process of finding a home to lease or purchase — from starting your search, scheduling and attending showings, presenting strong offer applications on your behalf. They're available to assist with rental and sale transactions in NY and NJ.

Housing Organizations

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
