Atco Properties & Management finalized two lease transactions totaling 25,912 square feet at 630 Third Avenue, a 23-story, 252,000-square-foot office building in Midtown East.
Rubin, Fiorella, Friedman & Mercante LLP renewed its 21,150-square-foot lease the entire third floor for three years. The firm, which specializes in insurance defense law, has been a tenant at the property since 2011.
Atco also completed a seven-year, 4,762 square-foot lease with the Permanent Mission of Saint Lucia to the United Nations. The diplomatic mission will encompass a portion of the seventh floor. The mission will relocate from 800 Second Avenue to the 630 Third Avenue in September.
The new commitments by Rubin, Fiorella, Friedman & Mercante LLP and the Permanent Mission of Saint Lucia follows the successful leasing of 630 Third’s retail spaces. In January, Spear Physical Therapy signed a 10-year lease to occupy the building’s final remaining retail space, joining fast-causal restaurants Dig Inn and P.F. Chang’s To Go.
“Over the last several months, we have seen solid leasing activity at 630 Third Avenue,” said Kate Hemmerdinger Goodman, co-president at Atco Properties & Management. “These new transactions demonstrate the continued appeal of our building, which benefits from being in walking distance to Grand Central Terminal and its outstanding retail line-up.”
Jonathan Franzel and Brittany Silver of Newmark Knight Frank represented the tenant and landlord in the lease renewal for Rubin Fiorella, Friedman & Mercante. Edith Chikwibu of UN General Realtors Group LLC represented the Permanent Mission of Saint Lucia to the United Nations, while Franzel and Silver represented building ownership.
