Why Optimal Spaces Tenant Broker

  • Lease negotiation: full terms, renewals, expansion options
  • Cost analysis, inventory identification, negotiating scope
  • Risk mitigation against hidden pitfalls

Cost Savings

  • Negotiate 30+ leasing points to prevent hidden costs
  • Save 10–15% on total leasing costs
  • Save 100–200 hours filtering unviable spaces
  • Property access via broker databases and networks (off-market, subleases, future availability)

Alone or With Other Brokers

  • Managing agents owe a fiduciary duty to landlords, seeking maximum price and terms rather than tenant savings.
  • Inherent conflict of interest as most brokers represent landlords
  • Risk of weaker terms and overlooked hidden costs
  • Heavy workload falls on you while best spaces are missed

Architects: Frank J. Helmle & Harvey Wiley Corbett
Height: 30 stories (original tower), 450 feet
Style: Neo-Gothic with modern vertical emphasis

Historical Significance

Developed by Irving T. Bush of New York's Bush Terminal Company, this engineering marvel was constructed on a narrow 50x90-foot plot during Manhattan's early skyscraper boom. The steel-frame tower employed heavy plate girders and knee braces to achieve stability without interior cross-bracing, with its framework erected in just four months.

Architectural Features

  • Facades: Primary north (42nd St) and south (41st St) elevations feature vertical limestone ribs and nautical-themed corbels by John Donnelly & Co., while side walls use trompe l'oeil brickwork to simulate stone piers
  • Top Floors: Double-height pointed-arched windows with Gothic tracery and illuminated copper lanterns at corners
  • Lobby: Modernized with double-height art gallery-inspired design and granite floors, retaining original spatial proportions

Ownership History

Originally built as the Bush Terminal Exhibition Building and Buyers' Club, it transitioned through owners including Hamilton Trust Company and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company before Vanke US acquired it in 2015. Designated a NYC Landmark in 1988 for its pivotal role in skyscraper development.

Lempert Brothers Intl USA. Testimonial

Lempert Brothers Intl USA. testimonial To Whom It May Concern: We had the pleasure of working with Stephen Sunderland months ago when we were in search of new office space for our growing company. He was of great assistance with all the questions we had about today's real estate market. His accurate analysis of the market and the time he took to listen and understand our motivations was a great advantage We required an office building that would allow us to expand and support all of our companies needs. Stephen Sunderland walked us down every road we needed to go and many times paved the way making it easier on us than could have been expected. He advised us and guided us through all the steps. He worked with us closely and made sure that he knew exactly what we were looking for. He provided us with real estate options and solutions that would save us both money and time down the road as our company grew. His dedication and commitment to his clients are rare commodities in today's self-interested world. If you see fit to give him a chance to serve you, we guarantee, you'll never look for another real estate agent. Without reservation, we strongly recommend the services of Stephen Sunderland and would most definitely work with him again, if his assistance is called for.
