NEW YORK CITY-Newmark Knight Frank has taken on the office leasing assignment at the Empire State Building after CB Richard Ellis resigned the account yesterday. CBRE’s NKF principal William G. Cohen is the new director of office leasing at 350 Fifth Ave., while CBRE’s Andrew Goldberg will continue to handle retail leasing at there, W&H Properties announced Thursday.

In a release, W&H says NKF got the assignment for the 2.8-million-square-foot office icon based on its track record with other properties in the W&H portfolio. Cohen is also director of leasing for One Grand Central Place earlier this year, and NKF also leases 1333, 1350, 1359 and 1400 Broadway. “The entire Newmark team understands our portfolio and has been critical to the success of the W&H brand,” says Anthony E. Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings, which supervises the portfolio, in the release.

Crain’s New York reported last week that CBRE gave up the account after Stephen Eynon, who was director of leasing at 350 Fifth, left the firm to join Jones Lang LaSalle. A CBRE spokesman aays the firm has no comment beyond a statement enumerating its accomplishments at the landmark office tower.
