This is the third expansion lease that Robert Kaplan, senior director at Hidrock, has arranged on behalf of the tenant since 2004. "The Shilo brand is growing and business is thriving," said Kaplan. "Although the tenant was not actively be looking to move into Tribeca, it was drawn to the full-floor space and the vibrancy of the area."
