Resolution’s leasing campaign at 18 East 41st St. closes in on 90% occupancy in under a year

 

 

Manhattan, NY John Thompson, director/leasing, and Justin Gentile, director/leasing of Resolution Real Estate, a member of NAI Global, have added three new companies to the tenant roster at 18 East 41^st St. within the past few months, rendering the Grand Central District office building 88.4% occupied in less than a year.

The three new tenants comprise:

• The Bronfman Fellowship with 2,219 s/f and a 10-year lease term.

• Forte Construction with 2,770 s/f and a three-year lease term.

• J Companies, a 5,200 s/f full floor with a six-year lease term.

Resolution Real Estate represents the landlord, 18 East 41^st Partners LLC. The tenant representative for The Bronfman Fellowship was Alexa Damon of Avison Young. The tenant representative for Forte Construction was Elliot Zelinger of Savitt Partners. The tenant representative for J Companies was Jeff Buslik Adams & Company. The asking rent for all three spaces was in the $50 per s/f. All three tenants took possession of the space by February 2026.

Other tenants that have moved into the building within the past year include Trident Media Group and Five Iron Golf.

“When we began the campaign last May, we targeted businesses seeking smaller office footprints, while promoting the building’s proximity to great transportation and services,” said Thompson. “A year ago, a much smaller portion was occupied, but thanks to well-targeted marketing strategies, we have been able to lease it up in a relatively short period of time.”

Gentile said, “Our project management division was also a key factor in a successful leasing program, enabling us to provide custom buildouts quickly. We were even able to relocate two smaller tenants to custom space and accommodate a full-floor tenant. With the right team, we have been able to meet everyone’s needs!”
