1251 Lexington Ave Property Overview

Building Address: 1251 Lexington Ave, New York NY 10028
Zip Code:10028
Neighborhood:Upper East Side
Borough:Manhattan
Stories:0
Year Built:1945
Building Class:B

1251 Lexington Avenue, located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, was designed by architect Wallace Harrison of the firm Harrison & Abramovitz. The design process took place between 1963 and 1967, with construction occurring from 1965 to 1968. The building officially opened its doors in 1971, reflecting the architectural style and urban expansion trends of that era.

This building emerged during a period marked by significant development in New York City, particularly as part of the mid-20th-century urban renewal and growth initiatives. Its creation contributed to the transformation of Lexington Avenue, a historic north-south thoroughfare established in the 1830s through efforts by Samuel Ruggles, a lawyer and real-estate developer who shaped much of the avenue's early development.

1251 Lexington Avenue stands near several educational institutions, including Marymount Manhattan College, Hunter College, and Weill Cornell Medical College, situating it within a vibrant academic and residential neighborhood in Manhattan.

Why Optimal Spaces –
Tenant Broker

  • We work for YOU, not the landlord.
  • Save 15–20% on your business costs.
  • Save 100–200 hours of research.
  • Access to all available spaces.

Alone or with other broker

✕
  • Miss deals and hard-to-find spaces.
  • Potential conflict of interest (often represent landlords).
  • Only 10% of available spaces are online.
  • Lack of specialized expertise.
  • May not get the best terms or uncover hidden costs.
Why Use a Tenant Broker: Your Advocate in Commercial Real Estate
1. The Crucial Distinction: Whose Side Are They On?
Landlord Rep (Listing Agent) — Fiduciary Duty: Landlord. Highest rent, best terms for landlord.
Tenant Rep (Tenant Broker) — Fiduciary Duty: Tenant Only. Lowest rent, best terms for tenant. Levels the playing field.
2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing
3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory
4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent
Landlord pays the broker fee — free expert representation for the tenant.
Access to hidden inventory: off-market listings, subleases, and future availabilities via broker databases and networks.
Negotiating beyond base rent: free rent, TI allowance, OPEX caps, and lease flexibility for renewal or expansion.
5. Time Savings & Process Management
6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”)
Tenant broker handles searching, scheduling, and RFPs — your outsourced real estate department with curated options and timeline management.
Mitigating risk: spotting pitfalls in LOI and lease such as restoration clauses and holdover penalties.
Summary: Don’t rely on the landlord’s agent. A tenant broker is your advocate, provides better data, negotiates a complete package, and typically costs you nothing.
