Manhattan, NY According to The Durst Org., Club Pilates signed a 10-and-a-half-year lease for 2,500 s/f on the ground floor of HELENA 57 WEST, located at 601 West 57th St. Club Pilates, founded in San Diego in 2007, has 450 active locations in the U.S. and Canada. The HELENA location is their third studio in the borough and eighth in the New York metro area.

HELENA, built in 2005, was one of the first voluntary LEED Gold residential towers in NYC and the first of the three buildings on the 57 WEST superblock. Durst’s VIA and FRANK compose the rest of the block in Manhattan’s fastest growing neighborhood. Other retail tenants on superblock include movie theater The Landmark, Livanos Restaurant Group’s Ousia, AKC Canine Retreat, and Hudson Market. The Hospital for Special Surgery is opening the HSS Sports Medicine Institute at the FRANK this year, and I Love Kickboxing, Soul Dental and Anthology Wine & Spirits recently signed leases at FRANK.

“We are proud to have worked with The Durst Org. to bring exciting retail and needed amenities to their 57 West superblock,” said Steven Baker, president of Winick Realty Group. “Club Pilates is not only a great amenity for the area but also a perfect way to complete a project that has been instrumental in creating a brand-new neighborhood on Manhattan’s Far West Side.”
