Breaking Ground Extends Lease at 520 Eighth Ave.

Nonprofit Breaking Ground, New York’s largest provider of street outreach and supportive housing for the homeless, has signed a one-year lease extension for 13,703 square feet on the 21st floor of GFP Real Estate’s 520 Eighth Ave. in the Garment District. Breaking Ground will continue to use its space at 520 Eighth for its general and executive offices. 

Marc Shapses of Savills North America represented Breaking Ground, while Matthew Mandell of GFP Real Estate represented ownership  

“520 Eighth Ave. has become a popular home for non-profits, entertainment-related companies and professional services firms that love the proximity to public transportation, great restaurants and shopping,” said Mandell.  “We are pleased to have been able to accommodate Breaking Ground’s renewal and support the important work the organization does for the city.”
