ABS Partners Real Estate Unveils Transformation Of Bespoke Office Property 145 East 57th Street

ABS Partners Real Estate, a leading New York City based real estate firm, announced the relaunch of 145 East 57^th Street, a meticulously-appointed 12-story, 64,000-square-foot “curated” office property located along the famed Billionaires’ Row between Lexington and Third avenues.

ABS Partners in partnership with Benenson Funding Corp. purchased the historic property – known for housing famous retailer Hammacher Schlemmer – in the fall of 2016 and has since invested substantial funds in a capital improvement program to create an exceptional and efficient office environment for users who wish to have an office on the Upper East Side’s Plaza District. The reimagined property is now offering a 2,650-square-foot penthouse – which is a newly constructed addition to the building – with an expansive private outdoor deck and six prebuilt floors – all featuring world-class pantries and bathrooms, along with new mechanical, electric and elevator systems throughout the building. John Brod, Robert Finkelstein and Alex Kaskel are leading the ABS Partners Real Estate team that is handling leasing for 145 East 57^th Street.

“We are proud to present the new 145 East 57th Street to the market – providing the highest levels of comfort and technology – and fulfilling a modern work-lifestyle for our tenants. We expect an incredible response to the sophisticated design and finishes of these exquisite workspaces,” said Mr. Brod, a partner at ABS, who added that 145 East 57^th Street’s high ceilings and multiple exposures are more typical of trendy office buildings in New York’s Chelsea or Soho neighborhoods.

In combining its unparalleled location with bespoke workspace environments, 145 East 57^th Street offers tenants a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a full-floor identity. The floors range in size from 2,600 square feet to 5,336 square feet – all with exposed high ceilings and abundant light. The custom pantry features heating cabinets, beverage coolers and top-of-the-line Miele appliances. ABS Partners is also working with current tenant Throckmorton Gallery to curate the lobby with original art that will rotate on a regular basis.

“The property is ideally suited for family offices, foundations, hedge funds, private equity firms and those seeking the prominence and efficiency of a full floor in a Class A building,” said Mr. Kaskel. “It’s a truly singular opportunity for Manhattan’s most prestigious office tenants.”
