Queens, NY A partnership between Atlas Capital Group, Partners Group (on behalf of its clients) and Invesco have signed a 25,744 s/f, six-year lease for the relocation and expansion of Canada-based Spin Master Corp.’s New York City headquarters at The Factory, the 1.1 million s/f loft office building in Long Island City.

The deal brings Spin Master’s total lease commitment at the Factory to 50,802 s/f. Spin Master will join its games and puzzle division, Cardinal Toys, on the sixth floor of the 10-story building. Newmark Knight Frank’s Brian Waterman, Howard Kesseler, Jordan Gosin and Alex Rosenblum represented the ownership.

The Factory Building continues to focus on supporting growing companies. “The fact that Spin Master doubled in size in less than a year proves our desire to provide a creative and amenity-rich environment that dynamic companies like Spin Master need in order to attract and retain talent,” said Jay Fehskens, senior director, asset management of Atlas.
