December 28, 2007 - Brokerage
SL Green Realty Corp. has completed a lease with NYU Hospitals Center which has signed a new 13-year lease for an additional 44,995 s/f at 673 First Ave. bringing its total occupancy at the midtown east office building to 159,631 s/f.
In June this year, NYU Hospitals Center also expanded its offices at the building by 48,896 s/f.
NYU Hospitals Center together with New York Presbyterian Hospital now occupies over 392,000 s/f of 673 First Ave., which has become a central hub for New York's leaders in the medical community.
Commenting on the agreement, Steven Durels, executive vice president and director of leasing and real property for SL Green, said, "NYU Hospitals Center is a valued long-term tenant. Once NYU Hospital expressed a need for additional space we were able to structure the recapture of a full floor from another tenant with six years of remaining term and unlock significant rental value. Overall the transaction was a win-win for everyone."
Located on the northwest corner of 38th St. and First Ave., 673 First Ave. is a 12-story building containing 425,000 rentable s/f.
Howard Tenenbaum and Gary Rosen of SL Green represented the tenant. SL Green is a self administered and self managed real estate investment trust, or REIT.
