“For over 100 years, Sage has redefined commercial real estate and the office amenity experience in New York City, and our relationship with Swig has been an integral part of that story for decades,” said Johnathan Kaufman Iger. We are pleased to continue this multi-generational relationship with Helmsley Spear now calling 747 Third Ave. home.”

747 Third Ave. is located near many transportation lines, and only several blocks from Grand Central Station.
