Marx Realty Reimagines Ely Jacque Kahn Office Tower

Marx Realty has unveiled the renamed and soon to be repositioned 10 Grand Central at 155 E. 44th St. It’s a reimagining of a 35-story office tower originally designed by Ely Jacque Kahn in 1931.

“10 Grand Central will be unlike anything currently available in the Midtown office market,” said Craig Deitelzweig, president and CEO of Marx Realty. “We did not want this important space to be another typical all-white marble office lobby that could be in any building, in any city. We are embracing the architectural heritage of this significant building by offering truly unique and inviting spaces to our tenants.”

Already, according to Marx, the repositioning has resulted in a significant lease renewal at a blended rate with a tenant that sees the value in having office space that combines form and function. A JLL team led by Howard Hersch and Clark Finney is handling the leasing effort.
