New York, NY Romer Debbas, LLP has expanded the firm’s headquarters at 275 Madison Ave. to span the entire 8th floor. James Wenk, Kirill Azovtsev, Allison Buck and Alex Redlus of Savills are responsible for the successful transaction as well as the seven-year extension of the firm’s current lease.

Earlier this month, award-winning New York City residential real estate firm Katz & Matz P.C. joined Romer Debbas. Together in 2021, the firms closed approximately 1,900 residential purchase/sale transactions for individual clients and approximately 1,400 residential loan transactions on behalf of various lending institutions.

With an aligned ethos and dedication to specialized representation by tenured practitioners, the 35-lawyer firm will operate under Romer Debbas and extend service to all legal matters, including residential, commercial, landlord/tenant, and trusts and estates. The firm is led by managing partners Michael Romer and Pierre Debbas.

“Savills is honored to be a part of Romer Debbas’s continued growth and success,” said Azovtsev, executive managing director, Savills. “We have enjoyed the opportunity to both represent and collaborate with the firm on multiple transactions throughout the years. This expansion and lease renewal at 275 Madison Ave. underscores the partners’ commitment to New York City real estate and their enthusiasm for our market.”

275 Madison Ave. was completed in 1931 and designed by architect Kenneth Franzheim. The building, which was designated a New York City landmark in 2009, is owned by RPW Group, Robert Weisz, and Andrew Weisz. Romer Debbas’s newly acquired space will be renovated to meet the standards upheld by the landlord.
