Lee NYC Markets Plaza District Office for Long-Term Leasehold

Lee & Associates NYC is marketing for long-term leasehold 661 Lexington Ave., a roughly 35,000-square-foot office building in the Plaza District within Midtown East. Senior managing directors Ben Tapper and Chris Varjan are marketing the circa-1902 building at the northeast corner of East 55th Street on behalf of The Parkoff Organization, a real estate acquisition and management company based in Great Neck, NY.

“With the reopening of New York City well underway, the demand for all types of space in Midtown is steadily rising, and this building offers an excellent opportunity in a well-situated, accessible neighborhood,” said Tapper.

Varjan added, “The flexible nature of the zoning allows for reimagining and redeveloping the property for multiple uses beyond standard office space.” Some potential users, he added, would be a government, education or nonprofit organization; a family office; or a social club.
