Kaufman Organization inks lease expansion for J Brand

The Kaufman Organization, which specializes in leasing and managing premier office space in the city, recently brokered a five-year, 3,000 s/f lease at 275 West 39th St. for J Brand, Inc. Although the terms of the lease were undisclosed, the asking rent for the space was $35 per s/f. Grant Greenspan of the Kaufman Organization represented both the tenant and the landlord. "We were thrilled to find the perfect space to accommodate J Brand's expansion plans," said Greenspan. "The building offers remarkable showroom space featuring entire floors of 3,000 s/f with three sides of light. It is ideal for companies such as J Brand." 275 West 39th Street is a 12-story building constructed in 1927. The building, with 35,280-square-feet of rentable space, is a one-stop shop for buyers as many of the hottest designers house showrooms there. Tenants include Catherine Malandrino, Mark Bouwer Pink, LLC, and J Brand. The Kaufman Organization, with over 85 years experience and 6.9 million square feet of owned or managed space, has long been considered one of the most prominent and well-respected real estate companies in the New York metropolitan area. The company offers a fully integrated spectrum of leasing and management services to diverse owners and tenants and is continually looking to build its portfolio through property acquisitions.
