New York, NY According to RFR, intellectual property law firm Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP has signed a long-term lease at the Chrysler Building. The firm will occupy a 11,000 s/f full floor, and RFR will build out the space to tenant specifications.

An in-house team of AJ Camhi, Paul Milunec and Rob Weller represented RFR and SIGNA Group and Michael Gottlieb, Jennifer Ogden and Drew Persson of Avison Young represented Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP. Asking rent was $90 per s/f.

“Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein was attracted to Chrysler in part because of its landmark Art Deco aesthetic, its sweeping city views and the boutique full-floor options it offers,” said AJ Camhi of RFR. “But this commitment is really a testament to the draw of Chrysler as an architectural gem in a perfect location and a nod to the power of RFR’s incomparable design sensibility as we continue on a path to re-energizing this beloved building.”

“We appreciate the excellent help and guidance that Avison Young provided us to find our new home with the Chrysler building,” said Charles Macedo, partner, Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein. “Thanks to their experience and expertise, we got the right space to help our firm to continue provide excellent legal advice, with a gorgeous view!”

The in-house RFR leasing team, led by AJ Camhi, has already transacted on 215,000 s/f of renewals and new deals since RFR and SIGNA took over the ownership of the Chrysler Building in April 2019. 

“We were thrilled to help Amster Rothstein reshape their law office needs for the future,” said Michael Gottlieb, principal, Avison Young. “Relocating to the Chrysler Building, with its amenity space, enabled them to upgrade the quality of their space, have phenomenal views of the city and still save money in the process. Working closely with RFR’s leasing team, we were also able to structure a financial transaction that worked for both parties."
