Cushman & Wakefield represented both the tenant and the landlord in the transaction
Holiday House Publishing, Inc., announced today that they have signed a 10-year, 10,817 sf lease with Fifty Broad Street, Inc. to house their new headquarters on the third floor of 50 Broad Street in Downtown Manhattan.
Cushman & Wakefield represented both the tenant and the landlord in the transaction. The tenant, Holiday House Publishing, Inc., was represented by Senior Director Harry Greeley and Senior Associate Jenna Catalon, and the landlord, Fifty Broad Street, Inc., was represented by Senior Director Jonathan Fein and Director in Cushman & Wakefield’s Agency Consulting Group, Carlos Suarez.
“With the building’s pre-war exterior features and location in historic Lower Manhattan, this building is perfectly suited for the culture of Holiday House,” said Harry Greeley, Senior Director of Cushman & Wakefield. “This prime Downtown location will also lend itself well to the firm’s future growth.”
Holiday House was acquired last year by Trustbridge Partners and is implementing a long-term growth strategy. The drivers for relocation of the firm’s headquarters were to simultaneously ensure room for future growth while keeping with the classic charm of an historic New York City firm.
“When we first saw the space at 50 Broad Street, we knew we’d found a home,” said Derek Stordahl, Holiday House Executive Vice President and General Manager. “The unique layout gives us space to publish more of the best books for children while maintaining the culture and heritage that has made the house a special place for authors, artists, and our staff since 1935.”
50 Broad Street is a 20-story office building located in charming Lower Manhattan between Exchange Place and Beaver Street. In the heart of Downtown, the building is surrounded by top-tier retail, restaurants, and New York City landmarks, and it is easily accessible by mass transit being walking distance from multiple subway stations, the PATH train, and ferry stations to Staten Island, New Jersey, Brooklyn, Queens, and Midtown.
