Plaintiff properly placed venue in Bronx County based upon defendant's designation of that county as its corporate residence on the certificate of incorporation it filed with the Secretary of State ( see Job v Subaru Leasing Corp., 30 AD3d 159).
Although a transitory action should generally be brought in the county where the cause of action arose, it is well settled that a motion for a change of venue under CPLR 510 (3) "must be supported by a statement detailing the identity and availability of proposed witnesses, the nature and materiality of their anticipated testimony, and the manner in which they would be inconvenienced by the designated venue" ( Krochta v On Time Delivery Serv., Inc., 62 AD3d 579, 581). Here, defendant failed to make the necessary showing despite two opportunities, and accordingly the conclusion that Bronx County was inconvenient for the witnesses was speculative ( see Brown v Dawson, 65 AD3d 980; Rodriguez-Lebron v Sunoco, Inc., 18 AD3d 275).
