530 Seventh Ave., located at the epicenter of the Garment District continues to attract some of the hottest fashion and creative brands in the market. Recently, three tenants committed to 7,000 s/f of space at 530 Seventh Ave., furthering the trend of national and international companies signing direct leases for new space and existing tenants expanding at the iconic tower. The Savitt Partners team of Brian Neugeboren, Nicole Goetz and Bob Savitt worked closely with all the companies in negotiating the multifaceted lease transactions. One of the newest additions to 530 Seventh Ave. is J Public Relations NYC, Inc., a top hospitality public relations firm with offices in NYC and California.

The firm joins other creative tenants at 530 Seventh Ave. including BWG Strategy and hud:sun media, to name a few. Savitt said, "The J Public Relations transaction also speaks to the recent trend of creative tenants relocating to the Fashion District from SoHo, Chelsea, Meatpacking and the Flatiron neighborhoods of Manhattan. Over the past year we have seen numerous high-profile relocations." Fashion lifestyle brand Alternative Apparel, Inc. has expanded into an additional 1,400 s/f space to accommodate the company's growing operations and now occupies nearly 5,000 s/f. Neugeboren and Goetz represented the ownership in this transaction, while Robert Eisenberg and Michael Frantz of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank acted on behalf of Alternative Apparel.
