AmTrust RE signs Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco to 16,375 s/f at 250 Broadway

Manhattan, NY AmTrust RE completed a 16,375 s/f lease at 250 Broadway, a 648,000 s/f office property.

AmTrust RE was represented by Anne Holker, managing director of leasing and acquisitions, and Charles Borrok, Jonathan Fales, Frank Cento, Jonathan Fein, and Michelle Mean of Cushman & Wakefield.

The tenant, Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP, was represented by Newmark’s executive managing director, Eric Zemachson.

Located across the street from City Hall Park, 250 Broadway offers commercial tenants location and transportation options. AmTrust RE remodeled the lobby. The lobby will also feature a new reception desk, turnstiles, and recessed ceiling lighting. GKV Architects spearheaded the lobby’s refreshed upscale design, and Signature Construction served as the general contractor.

“Manhattan’s private business sector is experiencing a surge in employees returning to the office full-time, and this leasing activity at 250 Broadway is the latest indicator of this movement,” said Jonathan Bennett, president of AmTrust RE. “As employers look to increase office attendance from employees, we’re seeing a ‘flight to quality’ take place. Companies are setting their sights on high-quality, updated, and highly-amenitized properties, and the major upgrades we’re making to the lobby are a reflection of AmTrust’s efforts to meet the desires of our tenants. We’re appreciative of the work done by GKV Architects and Signature Construction, and we’re thrilled to welcome Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco to the building.”

The firm is recognized as one of the “Best Law Firms” in New York City by U.S. News and World Report – Best Lawyers.

“Pollack & Pollack joins an exceptional tenant roster at 250 Broadway where they will benefit from the property’s strategic location near an array of transportation options, which has become increasingly important to tenants across the city in this post-pandemic environment,” said Borrok. “As the flight-to-quality trend persists, 250 Broadway continues to provide an innovative and productive work environment that tenants look for in office space. We are thrilled to be working with AmTrust and continue to bring top-tier tenants to the property.”
