Paul Wexler, Corcoran GroupNew York, NY According to Simone Healthcare Development Group, a division of Simone Development Cos., an Upper East Side physiatrists practice has leased the remaining 4,213 s/f on the ground floor of the 19,000 s/f Park Ave. Medical Arts Center at 62 East 88th St.
Paul Wexler and Josef Yadgarov of the Wexler Healthcare Properties Team at the Corcoran Group, exclusive leasing agent for the property, represented the owner and the tenant.
Simone Healthcare Dev. completed a renovation at the property, including a lobby, to enhance the appeal to modern healthcare practices.
Physiatrists specialize in non-surgical physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) for patients who have been disabled as a result of a disease, condition, disorder, or injury. They diagnose and analyze patient conditions and histories to determine and direct individual patients to the proper treatment teams using non-surgical methods.
“We believed there would be a strong market for specialized healthcare space in this location, and our vision for this commercial condominium has been validated now that it is fully leased up,” said Patricia Simone, president of Simone Management Group. “This prime Upper East Side location was ideal for growing medical practices and we continue to look for investment opportunities such as this on the Upper East Side.”
The 19,000 s/f commercial condominium has a private entrance, separate from the 60 East 88th St. residences above, and also includes a private elevator for the medical space. Located between Park and Madison avenues, the 15-story building was constructed in 1986 and contains 18 residential units in addition to the medical condominium space.
“This property was one of a handful of medical properties that could accommodate 4,000 s/f users in a high-end luxury condominium building,” said Wexler of the Wexler Healthcare Properties Team. “The Upper East Side continues to experience a shortage of large professional office space.”
Since acquiring the Park Ave. Medical Arts Center less than three years ago, Simone Healthcare Dev. has signed five leases with a renowned plastic surgeon, a large OB/GYN practice, a physical therapy center, administrative offices for a nearby OB/GYN and reproductive medicine group, and the new Physiatrist practice.
