Although the terms of the leases were not disclosed, asking rents for the office spaces at the building were in the high-$30s to low-$40s per s/f, while asking retail rents were approximately $125 per s/f.

“These transactions underscore the strength of well-positioned, high quality boutique buildings in Midtown South, particularly those combining efficient office layouts with strong retail frontage,” said Korren.

“We’re seeing steady demand from tenants drawn to the building’s proximity to Penn Station, flexible floor plates and the area’s growing amenity base. On the retail side, the location benefits from strong foot traffic and a built-in customer base of office workers, tourists and visitors to Madison Square Garden” said King.

240 West 35th St. is near Penn Station, Hudson Yards and Herald Square, offering tenants access to major transportation hubs and an array of dining, retail and lifestyle amenities.
