Allied Universal has relocated from Empire State Realty Trust's One Grand Central Place to a larger space at ESRT's 501 Seventh Ave.

Allied Universal More Than Doubles Space in Move to 501 Seventh Ave.

Allied Universal has expanded and relocated from a 12,000-square-foot space at Empire State Realty Trust’s One Grand Central Place to a 30,000-square-foot space at the REIT’s 501 Seventh Ave. The tenant is a provider of security and technology services.

“The market flight to quality is not just about new development; it is about tenant’s desire for newly built and renovated, energy-efficient office space in modernized healthy buildings with convenient access to mass transit at an accessible price point,” said Thomas P. Durels, EVP, real estate at ESRT.

Louis D’Avanzo and Michael Baraldi of Cushman & Wakefield represented Allied Universal in leasing negotiations. Shanae Ursini of ESRT and a Cushman & Wakefield team of Ron Lo Russo, Heather Thomas, Patrick Murphy, Will Yeatman and Pierce Hance represented the property owner.
