“We are extremely pleased with the results which the Avison Young team achieved on our behalf,” said David Brause, president, Brause Realty Inc. “The quality and profile of our new tenants are excellent additions to our tenant rosters.”
“Brause Realty’s multi-generation reputation for stability and track record for investing in their assets regardless of market conditions helped drive this leasing activity which significantly outperformed other buildings within the Penn Plaza and Midtown East submarkets,” said Korren. “Our understanding of the market; the desirability of these full floors which offer dedicated air conditioning systems and new bathrooms as well as operable windows on 4 sides and our excellent collaboration with building ownership, gave us the tools to help these tenants envision their companies in their new spaces.”
