The Candler Building, located at 220 West 42nd Street in Manhattan, New York City, is a historic skyscraper built between 1912 and 1914 by Asa Griggs Candler, the founder of The Coca-Cola Company. It stands as one of the last skyscrapers constructed in Manhattan before the implementation of the 1916 New York City Zoning Resolution, which required setbacks in building design. The building is a prime example of Spanish Renaissance architecture, designed by the firm Willauer, Shape, and Bready. It features a distinctive white terra cotta façade, extensively decorated with ornate details such as angel busts and dragon heads.

During the early 20th century, Candler developed several significant structures, including the Candler Building in Atlanta and others in Baltimore and Kansas City. The Candler Building in New York was initially planned as a 16- to 20-story office building, ultimately expanding to 24 stories. It was intended to attract businesses from the Southern United States. Over time, the building faced challenges, including a period of significant vacancy in the late 1970s, but it was later revitalized.

Today, the Candler Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognized for its architectural significance. It continues to serve as a prominent commercial and retail space in the heart of Times Square, offering 227,685 square feet of space. The first two floors are notably occupied by one of the most profitable McDonald's franchises in the United States.

Why Use a Tenant Broker: Your Advocate in Commercial Real Estate
1. The Crucial Distinction: Whose Side Are They On?
Landlord Rep (Listing Agent) — Fiduciary Duty: Landlord. Highest rent, best terms for landlord.
Tenant Rep (Tenant Broker) — Fiduciary Duty: Tenant Only. Lowest rent, best terms for tenant. Levels the playing field.
2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing
3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory
4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent
Landlord pays the broker fee — free expert representation for the tenant.
Access to hidden inventory: off-market listings, subleases, and future availabilities via broker databases and networks.
Negotiating beyond base rent: free rent, TI allowance, OPEX caps, and lease flexibility for renewal or expansion.
5. Time Savings & Process Management
6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”)
Tenant broker handles searching, scheduling, and RFPs — your outsourced real estate department with curated options and timeline management.
Mitigating risk: spotting pitfalls in LOI and lease such as restoration clauses and holdover penalties.
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.
