Durels tells GlobeSt.com that SL consistently reinvests in its buildings. "Consequently the timing of these particular capital programs is driven by pending lease expirations at 810 Seventh and 711 Third avenues and a recent acquisition at 16 Court St." Durels explains that asking rents are $35 per sf to $40 per sf at 16 Court St., $65 per sf to $90 per sf at 810 Seventh Ave. and $65 per sf at 711 Third Ave.


16 Court St.

A $7-million renovation of the lobby and elevator cabs is underway at 711 Third Ave., a 20-story, 553,000-sf tower located near Grand Central Terminal. Key elements of the renovation include new polished Thassos and Blue deSavoi Marble walls, a new polished Austiri Quartz floor, museum quality lighting, new elevator cabs, security systems featuring optical turnstiles, and a new visitor access system. The building's Third Avenue entrance will be expanded to the building line and a new entrance canopy will be added. According to a prepared statement, the most challenging aspect of the renovation is restoring Hans Hofmann's mosaic mural, which surrounds the elevator banks. Locally based TPG Architecture is managing the restoration process. Tenants in the building include Crain's New York Business, Omnicom, Parade Publications, Ricoh Corp., and Chicago Title Insurance Co.
