Building Alternate Address: 85 5th Ave

The address 85 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, NYC, has a rich history. Originally, Fifth Avenue was extended through the land owned by the estate of John Cowman in 1836, creating new building lots. The 26-foot wide lot at the corner of 16th Street was sold that year for $8,600.

The site was once home to the Wm. A. Spencer Mansion, built in the early Victorian period. Captain William Augustus Spencer, a notable figure in the U.S. Navy, was the owner. The mansion was known for its exquisite artwork and furnishings, including sculptures by Henry Kirke Brown. However, Captain Spencer did not enjoy his home for long, as he passed away in 1854.

By the late 19th century, the neighborhood began to change with the encroachment of commercial buildings. The Spencer mansion was eventually demolished in 1898. It was replaced by a 13-floor commercial building designed by Louis Korn, which was constructed in 1901.

This building underwent alterations in 2010 and continues to be a significant commercial space in the Flatiron District.

Recent News About 85 Fifth Avenue

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
