ConnectivCorp Testimonial

ConnectivCorp testimonial To whom it may concern: I am writing to recommend Stephen Sunderland and Optimal Spaces Inc. for the excellent job they did in finding us a sublease at 29 West 57th Street. They were fast and efficient in locating spaces that met our needs and corporate image, aggressive in negotiating on our behalf, and effective in communicating our needs to the landlord and getting our offer accepted. I look forward to working with the team at Optimal Spaces Inc. again. Very truly yours, Robert Miller Co-Chairman
