Manhattan, NY Lee & Associates NYC completed a new office lease for Daniel Romualdez Architect P.C. at 10 East 40th St. in Midtown. The architecture and interior design firm signed an 11-year lease for 5,670 s/f on a portion of the 32nd floor of the building.

The new space features 16-ft. ceilings and eastern, western and southern exposures with views stretching to the World Trade Center. The layout and architectural character aligned with the tenant’s search for a bright, high-floor creative environment reflective of its design-focused practice.

“We continue to see strong demand from architecture, design and creative firms seeking unique office environments that inspire both employees and clients,” said King. “This space offered a combination of character, functionality and location that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.”
