JLL has arranged a full floor lease on behalf of AVP (Atlantic Vantage Point) at 99 Madison Ave., a restored 17‑story, loft-style office property located in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan.
Founded in 2016 to support high-growth technology companies across various stages of development, and with offices in Paris, London and New York, AVP is growing its New York presence in a relocation from 1330 Avenue of the Americas to occupy 8,264 square feet under a new 10-year lease. Ownership will custom build the space ahead of a planned 2026 relocation.
Formerly known as AXA Venture Partners, AVP has rebranded as an independent private investment firm. AXA remains an anchor investor along with the European Investment Fund as the firm expands its multi-stage platform with a new growth strategy, focused on tech ventures in Europe and North America, complementing its existing venture, early growth and fund of funds strategies.
“The opening of an expanded Manhattan office in NoMad is an important step in AVP’s evolution and further strengthens our transatlantic platform,” said Elizabeth de Saint Aignan, general partner at AVP. “As we begin this exciting new chapter as an independent firm, our presence in New York reflects both our long-term commitment to the U.S. market and our ambition to support outstanding entrepreneurs on both sides of the Atlantic.”
A JLL team led by Vice Chairman Matt Astrachan, Executive Managing Director Dan Turkewitz and Senior Vice President Harrison Potter represented AVP in the transaction. Ownership was represented by Savitt Partners’ Senior Managing Director Elliot Zelinger and Director Scott Fink.
Owned by The Mayflower Agency Co. Inc. and managed by Windsor Management Corp., 99 Madison Ave. underwent a full-building renovation in 2018 that included a new lobby and custom-designed interior upgrades.
