Lifestyle Center Signs First Office Tenants

NEW YORK CITY-The Shops at Atlas Park, which is considered New York City’s first lifestyle retail center, has just signed its first commercial tenants. The five companies have all signed on to take space on the third floor.

Manhattan-based A & Co., a division of Atco Properties and Management Inc., has contracted the long-term commercial leasing agreements with the five local businesses. Bellido Insurance Brokerage, All State Insurance, the law offices of Henry Ramirez, Car Italy and Tours and the law offices of Michael Mauro have all taken space.

“The immediate access to restaurants, retail and convenient parking were key ingredients to why I chose Atlas Park,” says Ricardo Bellido, president of Bellido Insurance Brokerage. The close proximity to desirable amenities and the high profile of the project has brought additional business to many of the newly relocated companies. “I wanted a modern 21st century office space where I wouldn’t have to worry about things like plowing and air conditioning,” says lawyer Michael Mauro. “But have it taken care of by an experienced real estate firm.”
