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.”

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.
