The CBRE team of Peter Turchin, Gregg Rothkin, Ross Zimbalist, Arkady Smolyansky, Hayden Pascal and Trevor Larkin spearhead the marketing efforts at the 440,000 s/f, 20-story, class A building and negotiated the lease transaction on behalf of BXP and GIC.

Park and near major transit options, 360 Park Ave. South has great new amenities perfect for today’s office workers,” said Hilary Spann, executive vice president, New York region at BXP. “We’re building a top-notch workplace that’s all about convenience, experience, and functionality, and we’re excited to have Ziff Davis join the neighborhood.”

“360 Park Ave. South has been reimagined by BXP via a $100 million capital improvement campaign to create a truly modern workplace for the needs of today’s discerning corporate space users,” said Turchin. “We are thrilled to have Ziff Davis join an already impressive tenant roster, including Iconiq Capital, who recently leased 70,000 s/f at this distinctive Midtown South office tower.”

“360 Park Ave. South, in one of Manhattan’s hottest submarkets with Madison Square Park at its doorstep, surrounding transit, dining, and entertainment, attracts established business tenants looking for an office that will support their workforce,” said CBRE’s Rothkin.
