135 West 50th Street, known as the Sports Illustrated Building, is a 23-story office building located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Built in 1963, it is a notable example of mid-century modern architecture.

The building has a rich history, having housed prominent tenants such as Sports Illustrated, Zales, and the New York Telephone Company (Verizon's predecessor). Its prime location offers proximity to iconic landmarks like Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center.

In recent years, the building underwent significant renovations. George Comfort & Sons, with the help of Gensler, transformed the building's facade and lobby, adding modern amenities like a double-height lobby and a second-floor amenity center. The renovations aimed to revitalize the building's appeal in the competitive Manhattan office market.

Despite its historical significance and prime location, the building has faced challenges in recent years, reflecting broader trends in the Manhattan commercial real estate market.

Vaultus Professional Service Testimonial

Vaultus Professional Service testimonial To whom it may concern: I have had the opportunity to work with "Optimal Spaces" (specifically, Stephen Sunderland) over the last 18 months. Steve was hired to find a reasonably priced lease for corporate office space that would support our highly professional environment. I considered this to be a significant challenge since Manhattan was experiencing a severe shortage in available professional spaces. Honestly, I was expecting to be "sold" a space that would not meet all of our needs. However, in a short period of time, Stephen found a tower-floor space that exceeded my expectations and that was approximately 25% below the current market rates for comparable space. The most important aspect of working with Stephen is the level to which I can trust him to act in my best interest. I believe that Stephen possesses extensive knowledge of the real estate market and negotiation, is responsive, and performs his work in a highly professional manner. I am impressed by Stephen's sincere desire to understand his clients' needs. It is clear to me that Stephen is most interested in building mutually beneficial business relationships with his clients -- not the commissions they represent. I am happy to recommend "Optimal Spaces" to other growing businesses, and I look forward to working with "Optimal Spaces" again. Sincerely, Joseph J. Tutrone Vice President Vaultus Professional Service
