Schindler Elevator Relocates to Durst’s 1133 Ave. of the Americas

Schindler Elevator Corporation has signed a full-floor lease for 23,000 square feet at the Durst Organization’s 1133 Ave. of the Americas. A leading global manufacturer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, Schindler has moved the company’s corporate New York office to the Bryant Park neighborhood.

“Available office space is in short supply in the Bryant Park neighborhood and The Durst Organization recently invested $350 million in the submarket, including a $40-million renovation of 1133 Avenue of the Americas. We welcome Schindler and know that their employees will enjoy all that the property and neighborhood have to offer,” said Jody Durst, President of The Durst Organization.

Added Schindler SVP Michael Chatterton, “It is an honor to move into this Class A, LEED Gold building; where we not only installed the original elevators and modernized them over the years, but also have proudly maintained this equipment since the building opened.”

The Durst Organization was represented in house by Tom Bow, Rocco Romeo, and Nora Caliban. Schindler was represented by Andrew Grabis, Erik Schwetje, Nate Solomon, and Nicholas Solomon of Mohr Partners, Inc.
