  • Representing generational owners, I marketed this 2-story building for lease throughout the global pandemic.
  • Three tenants emerged, vying for the entire building.
  • We played each potential tenant against each other, eventually leasing the property to the highest and best use – the grocery delivery service, Gorillas, whose venture capital backed executives agreed to pay a higher rent than both an art gallery and an architect.
  • Gorillas was forced to lease the second floor as part of the negotiations, moving their NYC offices out of a WeWork and into this property.
