Description

Rare Full-Building Headquarters Opportunity Just Off Fifth Avenue

A striking prewar façade meets brand-new infrastructure in this rare full-building opportunity in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Encompassing approximately 13,500 square feet across five floors, the property offers a true blank canvas for a flagship retail concept, luxury showroom, private office headquarters, or mixed-use occupancy.

Currently undergoing a comprehensive repositioning, the building features 25 feet of premier frontage, brand-new oversized south-facing windows, a large ADA-compliant elevator servicing every floor, an outdoor terrace on the fourth floor, four grandfathered flags providing exceptional branding and visibility, high ceilings throughout, and numerous base building improvements, among other enhancements.

Unlike traditional office or retail opportunities, the property allows an occupier to design and build a headquarters tailored to its specific operational, branding, and programming requirements—an increasingly rare offering in one of Manhattan's most prestigious corridors.

Located just steps from Fifth Avenue, the property places your business alongside global luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Prada, Bulgari, Gucci, Chanel, and Rolex, while offering significantly greater value than Fifth Avenue frontage. The location also benefits from immediate proximity to premier hospitality destinations including Aman New York, The St. Regis, The Peninsula, Four Seasons, and The Plaza, as well as Central Park and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

This is a unique opportunity to establish a flagship presence in one of New York City's most coveted commercial districts, combining historic character with modern infrastructure in a fully repositioned boutique building currently undergoing renovation.
