Manhattan, NY Williams Equities leased 100,000 s/f of office and retail space at 470 Park Avenue South since acquiring the building 18 months ago.

Williams welcomed several new office tenants to the property, including impact.com, which signed a 10-year, 41,000 s/f lease across two floors. In addition, Yoga Joint, a premier fitness and yoga studio, leased the last remaining ground-floor retail space.

“470 Park Avenue South epitomizes the type of asset that Williams Equities seeks to acquire – high-quality, transit-oriented buildings with amenities that can be activated to attract and retain long-term tenants,” said Michael Cohen, principal at Williams Equities.

The firm enhanced the building’s shared amenities, which include a private outdoor patio and event space (with a firepit), communal work lounge, and coffee bar.
