Manhattan, NY Global Holdings, the international real estate development and investment firm led by chairman and founder Eyal Ofer, arranged a lease for financial services and strategic advisory firm Geller & Co. (Geller) for 45,290 s/f at the premium office tower, 99 Park Ave. The announcement adds to the recent leasing surge at the building, which launched a $30 million capital improvement program at the end of last year and continues to attract tenants thanks to its modern setting, functional redesign and Grand Central Terminal proximity.

Geller will occupy a portion of the 9th floor and the entire 10th floor in the 26-story tower. The firm is relocating from 909 Third Ave.

“The cache of working on Park Avenue remains as corporate businesses continue to look for dynamic and progressive workplaces in convenient locations,” said Craig Panzirer, senior vice president / director of leasing, Global Holdings. “Today’s lease signing and the overall momentum at the building is a testament to our investment. 99 Park Ave. offers everything needed to enhance the workday experience and leading businesses and corporations are taking notice.”

Global Holdings’ 99 Park Ave. capital improvement program includes reimagining its lobby with a detailed facade redesign, and new world-class amenity spaces including a golf simulator and speakeasy. Designed by VOCON, the improvement program is set for completion in 2026. 

Geller delivers financial services and strategic advisory to clients in the private and not-for-profit sectors.
