NEW YORK CITY-The Somerset Group’s 205-215 Lexington Ave. is filling up, thanks to 31,000 square feet of recent leases inked by Cassidy Turley managing director Wendy Miller. The leases are for GRACE Communications Foundation, GO Ventures, Allied Urological Services and Archcare.

Miller, along with executive managing director David Hoffman, Jr. repped Somerset in the leases. 

GRACE Communications Foundation works to highlight the relationship between food, water and energy. It renewed and expanded its existing lease and now occupies over 13,000 square feet in the building. Bert Rosenblatt and Aaron Kaufman of Vicus Partners represented GRACE.

Allied Urological Services, represented by Brian Feist at Cushman & Wakefield, will take the entire 15^th floor of the building for its back office operations. That space totals almost 6,000 square feet.

“Both the GRACE Communications Foundation and Allied Urological Services needed a cost-effective way to accommodate their respective growth,” Miller said in a prepared statement. “Cassidy Turley managed to keep GRACE in its existing space and expand the non-profit’s footprint in the building, ultimately keeping its expansion costs to a minimum.  Allied Urological Services wanted to keep its back-office departments together and we were able to negotiate a favorable deal to make that happen, while helping to solve current and future growing pains.”   

Go Ventures, an investment firm that focuses on sustainable technology and businesses renewed for 5,000 square feet at the building and ArchCare, a Catholic continuing care system, took 7,500 square feet more space and expanded across three floors.

According to Miller the occupancy rate in the building falls to 5% with the deals.
