Forefront Communications completed a three-year renewal for the 1,824 s/f space on the 7th floor that it has occupied since 2019.

On the tenant side, David Kahane of DAK Commercial Realty, LLC represented Goldstein, Rikon, Rikon, & Levi, PC. The asking rent for all three deals was $62 per s/f.

“We are pleased to welcome independent children’s book publisher Lee & Low Books to 381 Park Avenue South and appreciative that leading eminent domain law firm, Goldstein, Rikon, Rikon & Levi PC and strategic communications agency, Forefront Communications, have chosen the property again,” said Hemmerdinger Goodman. “Our ability to provide tenants with high-quality space and exceptional service make the building an attractive destination for companies seeking a home in the desirable Flatiron District.”
