John Livingston president of Tishman Urban Development Corp. served as a consultant to Trinity Real Estate on this transaction, joining Mr. Weisbrod, Jason Pizer, director of leasing, and John Franqui, head of Trinity's strategic planning unit. The same Cushman & Wakefield team of Peretz and Constable has been named exclusive leasing agent for the 10-story office component of 330 Hudson St."We are offering the largest block of quality office space in the most vibrant commercial market in Manhattan," Peretz says, pointing to the many exceptional features of the property, including extra-height ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling glass exterior on the top two floors, 9,000 sf of exterior terrace space, and entirely new vertical transportation, HVAC, security and voice/data/power distribution systems.

Constable adds that market demand is huge for this type of space, and "it's all wrapped up in a painstakingly restored and modernly expanded LEED-certified office building." The historic neighborhood of Hudson Square has already attracted some of New York's greatest creative entities as office tenants, including Viacom's MTV Networks, WNYC, CBS Radio, Workman Publishing, The Weinstein Company, In Demand, Penguin Putnam publishers, Art Institute of New York City, Nature America, the Jackie Robinson Foundation, Sears Design, Getty Images and Bliss Spa.

"With 330 Hudson Street, we are furthering the transformation of Hudson Square itself, adding a much-demanded exclusive boutique hotel, high-end retail, dramatic high-end dining and unparalleled office space in an architecturally significant and complementary property," Tribeca Assoc.' Brodsky says.

"We are currently developing a hotel and a loft condominium building in Tribeca, so the opportunity to build the mixed-use development at 330 Hudson represents an important progression of our business plan, and reaffirms our commitment to lower Manhattan," explains Elliot Ingerman, principal of Tribeca Assoc.
