GFP Real Estate LLC announced that Exbo Group Inc., a boutique financial consulting firm that provides growth-stage companies and investors with finance, accounting and advisory services, has signed a new, three-year lease for 6,031 square feet of built-to-suit office space on the seventh floor of 740 Broadway in NoHo.
Neith Stone of GFP Real Estate LLC, as well as Robert Silver, Anthony Sciacca and Brittany Silver of Newmark represented the landlord, Lafayette-Astor Associates LLC in the transaction. Jason Majlessi of Venture Commercial and Remy Liebersohn of Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant. Exbo Group, Inc. is expected to move in this October; the space was previously occupied by Direct Agents.
“GFP’s ability to deliver a quality turnkey space at a great price made 740 Broadway a bit of a no-brainer for our client,” added Majlessi. “The landlord’s team made it easy for Exbo to design the perfect space for their current and future needs.”
Built in 1912, 740 Broadway is a 12-story, 152,000-square-foot loft building designed by architect Francis H. Kimball in Beaux-Arts style. Prominently situated on the Southeast corner of Broadway and Astor Place in NoHo, the landmarked building offers a unique combination of history and modern appeal. Tenants enjoy unobstructed views wrapping around the corner, high ceilings, and flexible floorplates. The building’s recent renovation includes a state-of-the-art lobby featuring architectural media walls showcasing breathtaking nature scenes.
“740 Broadway has become a hub for tech and finance-related companies seeking cool, flexible office space in a dynamic neighborhood,” said GFP’s Stone. “The building’s blend of historic charm and modern amenities makes it an ideal location for firms like Exbo Group that are looking to grow and thrive in a vibrant environment.”
