Jacobs and DeLuca of Signature Group rep tenant in 4,284 s/f lease; Carcaterra of Newmark Knight Frank reps landlord

Signature Group has completed a lease for 4,284 s/f of office space at 707 Westchester Ave., which will serve as the expanded New York-area office of The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, a national firm. Signature Group brokers Mark Jacobs and Nick DeLuca represented Whiting-Turner. Brian Carcaterra of Newmark Knight Frank represented the landlord, Normandy Real Estate Partners. The lease is the third Westchester County transaction in 2010 since the Darien, Conn.-based company increased its activities here. Earlier this year Signature Group completed leases for Handwerger & Sons at 2975 Westchester Ave. and NHPA at 711 Westchester Ave. In addition, Jacobs and DeLuca are negotiating leases for several other clients in Westchester County. "Fairfield and Westchester Counties offer similar location and lifestyle amenities to national and regional tenants looking for space in the New York metro area," said Mark Jacobs. "To provide the best service to the tenants and the landlords we represent - both local and from outside the region -- our firm is focusing on the opportunities that both counties provide."
