CitySpire, located at 156 West 56th Street in Manhattan, New York City, is a mixed-use skyscraper completed in 1990. It was designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects and developed by Ian Bruce Eichner. The building stands 814 feet tall with 75 stories, making it the second-tallest concrete tower in the United States at the time of its completion.

The building features an octagonal plan with a dome inspired by the New York City Center. The facade is made of Sardinian "luna pearl" stone with glass windows and includes setbacks at the 46th and 62nd floors. The lower 22 floors are dedicated to commercial use, while the upper floors consist of luxury apartments.

CitySpire was proposed in 1984 and began construction in 1985. It was topped out by June 1987. The building faced controversy due to exceeding its approved height, leading to a settlement that included adding dance studio space, which was never built. Despite these challenges, CitySpire became a prominent landmark in Midtown Manhattan.

The building is part of a neighborhood that was once an artistic hub, with nearby landmarks like Carnegie Hall and the Russian Tea Room. Today, it is surrounded by luxury developments known as Billionaires' Row.

156 W 56th St, Manhattan, NYC is also known as CitySpire. It is a unique octagonal 72-story tower located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, close to landmarks like Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall.

Double Agent Testimonial

Double Agent testimonial To Whom it May Concern: This is to give reference for Stephen Sunderland, who provided commercial real estate brokerage services to our firm, Double Agent. His work led to our signing of a five year lease and five year optional extension on 6,200 square feet of SOHO office space at a very competitive rate. I was extremely impressed by Stephen's professionalism and follow-through in helping us not only locate this space but also in bringing it to closing. He showed a good knowledge of our needs and through that avoided wasting our time showing us unsuitable properties. I would be glad to provide further reference for Stephen and you may feel free to call me about him. I can give him an unqualified recommendation. Best regards, Andrew Szabo Chairman and CEO Double Agent, Inc.

Tenant Representation: Optimal Spaces acts exclusively as a "Tenant Broker," only representing tenants, never landlords.
⚖️
Unbiased Service: Avoiding conflicts of interest, they provide impartial service, showing a wider range of properties and negotiating the best price.
🗂️
Comprehensive Process: Agents guide clients end-to-end, offering market surveys, floor plans, pricing expectations, and industry contacts.

Why Optimal Spaces –
Tenant Broker

  • No fee for clients renting space.
  • 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.
  • Specialized real estate expertise.

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?
2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing
3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory
4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent
5. Time Savings & Process Management
6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”)
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.
