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 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

The Spero Building, located at 19 West 21st Street in Manhattan's Flatiron District, is a notable twelve-story office and loft building completed in 1908. It was developed by David Spero, a millinery goods wholesaler, who purchased the site from Benjamin Stern. The building was designed by architect Robert D. Kohn in the Art Nouveau style, a distinctive choice that set it apart from the prevalent Beaux Arts and Renaissance-inspired architecture of the time.
Constructed between 1907 and 1908 at a cost of approximately $350,000, the building features a façade composed of limestone and buff-colored brick, with prominent two-story piers adorned with fountain-like Art Nouveau carvings. Copper-roofed oriel windows add both light and a dynamic, undulating movement to the exterior, while the irregular roofline and projecting upper stories reflect the influence of the Vienna Secessionist movement within Art Nouveau design.
Situated between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in the heart of the Ladies’ Mile Historic District, the Spero Building quickly became a hub for garment industry tenants, including embroiderers, shirtwaist merchants, and cloak and suit makers, which were characteristic of the district’s trade. Over the decades, the building continued to house a variety of apparel industry companies, reflecting the neighborhood's status as a center of New York City's garment industry.
Today, the building offers approximately 120,000 square feet of Class B office space across its twelve floors, with floorplates averaging around 21,000 square feet. Its location in Chelsea provides tenants with convenient access to numerous nearby restaurants, shops, hotels, and public transportation options, including the 23rd Street subway station serving the 6, R, and W lines.

C2 Media Testimonial
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to highly commend Robert King for his professional assistance in helping me locate a new corporate office.
Locating the right space takes time, and I was impressed with Robert’s patience not only with myself but with my overseas executives. He never tired of our endless meetings and requests.
We found a space we love. And in spite of us concluding our deal, Robert every so often comes by to chat and make sure all is going well professionably and personally.
I enthusiastically recommend Robert and Optimal Spaces to anyone looking for space in New York City.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Pabon
