The CBRE team of Paul Amrich, Meghan Allen, James Ackerson and Max Tarter lead the leasing and marketing at the property and represented the owners in the lease negotiations. Amrich also secured the tenant and represented EOS Investors in the deal.

“We are happy that 444 Madison continues to attract high quality institutional tenants that are attracted to a building with great amenities, a prime midtown location and a highly experienced and respected landlord such as Westbrook,” said Paul Kazilionis, founder and CEO of Westbrook Partners.

Occupying a full block between 49th and 50th St.'s, the building recently underwent major renovations to the lobby, elevator cabs and building systems and is perfect for boutique financial tenants.
