Bradford Allen completes office penthouse lease

Manhattan, NY Bradford Allen has completed a 31,494 s/f lease for the penthouse at 805 Third Ave. in Midtown Manhattan for the South African Consulate.

The transaction was executed by Bradford Allen’s Glenn Isaacson, executive vice president, New York, and Tony Builder and Ava Beganovic, senior associates, in partnership with Marc Horowitz, executive vice president and national director of leasing at Cohen Brothers Realty Corp. Michael Goldman of Cresa represented the tenant.

“805 Third Ave. continues to attract tenants looking for high-quality, move-in-ready space in a prime Midtown location,” Isaacson said. “The penthouse offering, paired with access to a private outdoor terrace, aligned well with the consulate’s needs.”

Cohen Brothers is a New York-based owner, developer and operator of commercial real estate with a long-standing presence across Manhattan, including a portfolio of office properties throughout Midtown. 

“We’re pleased to welcome the South African Consulate to 805 Third Ave.,” said Horowitz. “The lease reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining the building as a reliable, well-positioned option for a wide range of users.”

The consulate selected 805 Third Ave. for its efficient layout, limited build-out requirements and proximity to its existing Third Ave. location, allowing for a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Located in Midtown East, 805 Third Ave. offers access to regional transportation, nearby dining and key landmarks including Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building and Central Park.
