Rye Brook, NY George Comfort & Sons negotiated five lease agreements totaling over 83,000 s/f at Kingsbrook, the firm’s office complex.

In January, George Comfort & Sons signed a 10-year agreement with Regus to open a location at Kingsbrook in mid-2023 across 15,800 s/f at 4 International Dr. Regus is part of IWG, the world’s leading provider of hybrid work solutions–with 3,500 locations in 120 countries with members able to access all of the locations and business services via the IWG app. The company is adding a further 1,000 locations over the next year and already counts 83% of Fortune 500 companies among its customer base.

“The year is off to a running start at Kingsbrook, and we are pleased to welcome Regus to the complex. We are confident that the new location will serve as an added amenity for our tenants, as well as provide Rye Brook and Westchester County residents with a quality workspace option close to home,” said George Comfort & Sons president and CEO Peter Duncan, who represented ownership in all transactions along with senior vice president Dana Pike.
