MKDA designs 6,000 s/f full-floor prebuilt unit at 681 Fifth Ave.

One of New York's leading corporate interiors firm, MKDA, has created a 6,000 s/f, full-floor prebuilt unit on the 12th floor at 681 Fifth Ave., a newly renovated boutique office building owned by the principals of Metropole Realty Advisors and located in the heart of Manhattan's Plaza District. "This prebuilt unit will assist Metropole in leasing space within its recently modernized office asset," said MKDA president Michael Kleinberg. "More and more owners of commercial office space are creating prebuilt units that function as both model units and built space for tenants in the market for turnkey opportunities." "Ownerships with vacant office space need to consider offering built space in order to attract tenants who may be unwilling to incur the cost of a build out," said Cushman & Wakefield vice chairman Mitchell Konsker. "This prebuilt unit not only creates a unique turnkey opportunity for a single tenant, but also helps us market the balance of office space currently available at 681 Fifth Avenue." MKDA created a modern office space that is ideally suited to this classic building, which was originally designed in 1912 by McKim, Mead, and White, a prominent architectural firm in the eastern United States at the turn of the twentieth century. The LEED inspired prebuilt unit consists of one large conference room, two open work areas and six private offices partitioned by all-glass architectural wall systems.
