Queens, NY Sholom & Zuckerbrot Realty (S&Z) has negotiated a lease providing 65,000 s/f for The Fortune Society at 29-76 Northern Blvd. in the Long Island City neighborhood, according to Sanford Zuckerbrot, chairman of S&Z, which represented the landlord.

The Fortune Society, a non-profit organization offering a full range of services for ex-offenders, such as counseling, education, employment services, substance abuse treatment, health services and housing, will take immediate occupancy of the ground and second-floor space for a term of 15 years.

"The location is exceptionally well suited to the tenant's needs - it is close to an excellent transportation hub and several major highways, and is easily accessible from Manhattan," said Gail Roseman, executive vice president of S&Z and one of the building's exclusive agents.

S&Z was initially retained by Trafalgar Tours, a previous tenant at the building, to sublet its 45,000 s/f office, which is now a portion of The Fortune Society's new space. The landlord was interested in leasing an adjacent 20,000 s/f, and also retained S&Z as an exclusive agent. Roseman, with Joseph Meyerson, also of S&Z, decided to offer Trafalgar's space as an expandable office. The combined 65,000 s/f was "an ideal fit" for The Fortune Society, according to Roseman.

Roseman and Meyerson represented the landlord. The Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) team of Stephen Schofel, Robert Silver and Scott Brown represented the tenant.
