Leading wealth management firm will occupy the entire 18th floor of the prominent Midtown property
NEW YORK, NY (July 6, 2020) – Fisher Brothers today announced the completion of a 30,000-square-foot, multi-year lease with BBR Partners, LLC. The lease signing highlights continued demand for well-positioned Midtown office space, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The wealth management firm will occupy the entire 18th floor of Park Avenue Plaza, located at 55 East 52nd Street in Midtown East.
BBR Partners continues to prioritize modern, functional space to support the recruitment and retention of talented professionals. Fisher Brothers, a fourth-generation real estate company that owns and manages more than 5.5 million square feet in Midtown Manhattan, worked closely with BBR Partners to ensure that their office space needs were met as the firm navigated the pandemic.
“This signing is a testament to our continued investment in our properties and our deep-rooted commitment to being reliable partners to our tenants,” said Ken Fisher, Partner at Fisher Brothers. “We’re proud to be able to work with high caliber tenants, such as BBR, by providing knowledgeable, Class A services. Experience and innovation in the workplace have never been more important than now, as the City returns to the workplace.”
