"This facility will provide Scharff Weisberg with the space and capacity they need," says Emanuel Stern, president and COO of Hartz, in a prepared release. The new tenant's Lighting Division has already begun its move from Long Island City, and the company's other divisions are expected to be in place by the end of June.

"In terms of real estate, we've been victims of our own success for the past three years," says Josh Weisberg, president of Scharff Weisberg, in a prepared release. "We have been forced to juggle our limited shop capacity s our business has expanded. "This new space will allow our audio, video and lighting shops to provide well-coordinated service.

"We'll be the only facility in the metro area that will house state-of-the-art lighting, audio, convergence and video shops under the same roof," Weisberg says in the release. "We'll now have more than adequate space to prep a show of any size while keeping the same distance from Midtown Manhattan as we have now."
