Deep dives
Demand for Office Space in Trophy Markets
In the commercial real estate market, there is a clear divide between Class A trophy assets and other properties. Trophy markets such as Park Avenue and Sixth Avenue are witnessing significant leasing activity and large deals. Despite stagnant rents, the net effective rents have declined due to increased tenant improvement allowances and landlord work.
Repositioning Commercial Buildings and Leasing Activity
Repositioning commercial real estate involves substantial investment to attract tenants. Buildings like 1345 Avenue of the Americas have undergone significant upgrades post-pandemic, incorporating touchless technology and other amenities. This investment has attracted major tenants like the Paul Weiss law firm, signing long-term leases.
Market Outlook for Commercial Real Estate
The New York office real estate market displays a tiered landscape, with Class A assets witnessing more activity compared to other segments. Repositioning aging buildings and incorporating modern amenities have been crucial for attracting tenants. Future market performance will depend on the reinvestment and strategic positioning of assets.
Challenges and Opportunities in New York City Real Estate

Strategies like repositioning buildings and upgrading amenities can attract tenants and drive leasing activity.
