Polsinelli of Eastern Consolidated to market 421 West 54th Street

The Hit Factory, the recording studio where superstars like Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Paul Simon and the Rolling Stones produced some of their finest music, has a prime retail opportunity up for grabs. Eastern Consolidated's senior director Adelaide Polsinelli is exclusively marketing the building's 12,327 s/f retail condominium located at 421 West 54th St. featuring long-term tenant Gibson Guitar Studio. "This offering is the perfect mix of real estate and rock-and-roll," Polsinelli said. "Whether you're a rock-and-roll aficionado or real estate investor, this is an incredible opportunity to acquire an inflation-proof asset with a long-term net-leased tenant." Situated in the heart of Midtown West on the north side of 54th St. between 8th and 9th Aves., Gibson Guitar is located at the base of the six-story, mixed-use Hit Factory building, which was converted to residential use after the studio closed its doors in the late 1990s. The building was originally The Hit Factory where hundreds of famous albums including "Born In the USA," "Graceland" and "Songs In The Key Of Life" were recorded. Gibson Guitar recently re-signed a new 10-year net-lease. Polsinelli adds that the investment is "unique" because the studio and showroom is frequented by the nation's top talent and guitarists from all over the world, including B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and countless other rock legends. The retail condominium features 8,787 s/f on the ground floor with 34 ft. of frontage facing 54th St. and 3,540 s/f of sellable lower level space. The property also benefits from 13' ceilings, a 24/7 concierge and state-of-the-art surveillance cameras.
