Trio of Leases Brings 250 W. 55th St. to Full Occupancy

CBRE completed three office leases totaling approximately 30,000 square feet at 250 W. 55th St., a Class A office tower in Midtown Manhattan owned by BXP. Investment advisory firm Aperture Investors, private equity firm GrowthCurve Capital, LP and independent claims adjusting firm Raphael & Associates committed to office space at the 990,000-square-foot tower near Columbus Circle. 

The CBRE team of Peter Turchin, Caroline Merck, Arkady Smolyansky and Ali Gordon spearheaded the office leasing campaign at the property and represented BXP in the lease negotiations. GrowthCurve Capital, LP was represented by Jonathan Luttwak & James Cassidy of DHC Real Estate Services and by Louis D’Avanzo of Cushman & Wakefield. Aperture Investors was represented by Neil Goldmacher and Matthew Lorberbaum of Newmark. Raphael & Associates was represented by Jason Roberts of JLL. 

“250 W. 55th St. continues to attract new clients as well as expand and retain existing clients,” said Merck. “Corporate space users are attracted to the highly efficient, column-free floor plates, 10-foot finished ceilings, floor to ceiling glass windows, and the expansive Hudson River and Central Park views from the tower.”

With the completion of these leases, all current vacancies at 250 W. 55th are filled. Two partial floor office spaces will be coming to the market in mid-2025, according to CBRE.
