Gurevich of GFP Real Estate leases 4,869 s/f to Seiden Law at 322 Eighth Ave.

Manhattan, NY According to GFP Real Estate, LLC , Seiden Law LLP has signed a new seven-year lease for 4,869 s/f on the 12th floor of 322 Eighth Ave.

Allen Gurevich of GFP Real Estate represented the landlord, GFP Real Estate, and the tenant, Seiden Law LLP, in the transaction.  The company, which currently occupies 2,500 s/f on the 17th floor of the building, is expected to move into its new space in the next several weeks following the completion of the firm’s new offices.  The 12th floor space was previously occupied by Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.

“Seiden Law has been in the building since 2021 and needed the additional space to accommodate its rapid growth,” said Gurevich.  “Whenever a company can relocate to a new space within its existing building it’s a win-win.  We are excited to see the firm continue to grow its presence at 322 8th Ave.”

“The building owners, and Allen especially, have been fantastic to work with, helping us navigate our growth without disruption to a larger space within the building converging with the new lobby and other upgrades of the building,” said Robert Seiden, managing partner of Seiden Law LLP. 

Built in 1925 and designed by architects George and Edward Blum in a neo-gothic style, 322 Eighth Ave. is a 21-story, 185,000 s/f office building located in Chelsea. In recent years the building’s entrance and façade were completely remodeled and feature a modern, glass storefront while the building’s marble-floored lobby has vaulted ceilings featuring a mural painted by American artist Thomas Hart Benton, which was restored by a specialist from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  

GFP Real Estate is currently renovating the lobby at 322 Eighth Ave., adding a new green wall, coffee bar, waiting area, security desk, turnstiles, and contemporary finishes.
