Civic Entertainment Doubles Up Space Across Two NoHo Properties

Creative marketing and communications agency Civic Entertainment Group signed a seven-year lease extension and expansion totaling 27,180 square feet across two GFP Real Estate properties in NoHo: 15,180 square feet at 440 Lafayette St. and 12,000 square feet at 740 Broadway.  The move will nearly double CIVIC’s office footprint from approximately 15,000 square feet to 27,180 square feet. 

As part of the agreement, the agency will also relocate from its current fifth-floor offices at 440 Lafayette.  GFP will construct a new bridge connecting the two buildings through a shared interior courtyard, allowing the company to operate seamlessly across both floorplates.  

Allen Gurevich of GFP represented CIVIC. Neith Stone of GFP represented ownership.  CIVIC is expected to move into its new offices at the beginning of 2026, following a complete renovation and modern build-out to be delivered by GFP.

“This is a terrific example of how GFP works creatively with its tenants to accommodate growth in a way that minimizes disruption to their operations,” said Stone.
