45-51 West 21st Street in Manhattan, NYC, is a historic building that began its journey when the Evangelical Lutheran Church stood on the site until 1901. The area was once lined with elegant brownstone residences but transitioned to commercial use as Fifth Avenue became more industrial.

Following the church's removal, two industrial loft buildings were constructed spanning Nos. 45 to 51. A major fire in 1908 heavily damaged one of these buildings. D. E. Sicher & Co., a prominent women's underwear manufacturer, purchased and renovated the damaged structure. Architects Goldwin, Starrett & Van Vleck designed the new six-story industrial loft, which was completed in 1909. The building featured red brick with limestone trim and expansive windows for natural light. It included a salesroom at ground level and office and factory spaces above.

D. E. Sicher & Co. not only renovated the building but also emphasized employee welfare by sponsoring education and economic advancement programs for its workers. The company's philanthropic efforts continued until its president, Dudley D. Sicher's death in 1939.

Over the years, the building transitioned from garment manufacturing to accommodating various tenants. By the 21st century, it housed office spaces and a significant nightclub on the ground floor. In recent years, a portion of the building has been occupied by a venue space named Duvet.

The building was formally completed in 1915 and stands as a testament to the northward migration of the manufacturing sector in early 20th-century New York. Its architectural and industrial significance have been preserved, with the cast iron details on the ground floor remaining intact.

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen Testimonial

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen testimonial Dear Stephen: On behalf of my partners and myself, I want to thank you for your representation, assistance and support in connection with our search for new office space. We have worked with many brokers over the last eighteen months, but you were the only one who truly listened and tried to understand what our requirements, limitations and needs were. As a result of your diligence and persistence, we have been able to sign a lease for a space that meets all of our physical, aesthetic and economic criteria. You have done an excellent job on our behalf, and we are truly appreciative. Please feel free to share this letter with any of your potential clients, as we would wholeheartedly recommend your services to others. Once again, thank you for everything. Sincerely, Neil B. Garfinkel
🤝
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.
🐷
Cost Savings: They negotiate rental price and identify/abate "hidden costs."

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.
