Following a year-long restoration and renovation program, 177 Livingston St., which contains 110,000 sf and an approximate 6,000-sf ground-floor retail space, has been transformed from a Macy's warehouse building into a seven-story, class A office property offering security, 24-hour access, cutting-edge infrastructure, and prewar grandeur, Howard Schor, VP of strategic operations & planning, tells GlobeSt.com.
"Downtown Brooklyn has gained a reputation as a premier destination for a wide range of nonprofits and other commercial users seeking value and easy access to Manhattan," says Kraig Silver, SVP of Treeline Cos. "While top-notch spaces are always a challenge to find, 177 Livingston St. offers 15,000-sf floor plates and is most popular among city agencies; these types of tenants demand these full-floor spaces.
Silver went on to explain this particular site was chosen based on a few things. "The floorplates at 177 Livingston St. lay out well and are highly conducive to full-floor users," Silver says.
"The property is also situated near to all transportation, shops and restaurants. Treeline's in-house management team caters to tenant needs," Schor adds.
HeartShare Human Services of New York, a nonprofit human services agency, has signed a 15,853-sf lease. HeartShare Wellness, a division of HeartShare has signed a 10,216-sf lease. Legal Services for New York City, a provider of civil legal services, has committed to a 9,669-sf space. CB Richard Ellis represented both in the negotiations. Silver served on behalf of Treeline in all transactions.
