Tenant Broker’s Perspective: Return-to-office mandates are driving up rental prices at 111 Fifth Avenue. This trend is projected to continue. Opportunities for subleases remain available at 111 Fifth Avenue and in the nearby Gramercy Park neighborhood.
To Whom It May Concern:
We were very fortunate to have Stephen Sunderland as our agent when we began to look for a new office space. Steve totally understood what we were looking for and found us our new home really quickly! He did not waste our time showing us endless properties that didn't meet with our criteria. We are extremely happy here in our new office and we all found Steve to be a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new space in New York City.
Sincerely,
Eileen d' Arcy
