NEW YORK CITY—Paul J. Massey Jr. and his new company, Building by Building, Block by Block (B6) founded with former colleagues Neil Heilberg and Michael Wlody, are looking to hire 50 brokers. They've already recruited an experienced management team of 20 people.
As reported in the New York Post, B6 signed a l2,010 square-foot lease, the full eighth floor at 1040 Sixth Ave. at W. 39th St. with the building's asking rent in the low-$50s. The paper reported Savills Studley's Bill Montana represented B6 and Billy Cohen of Newmark Knight Frank served as brokers for DHI Group in the sublease. The Post noted that building owner Skyline Development consented to the deal.
Massey tells GlobeSt.com his team is thrilled with their central location in Midtown will be fully operational the week of July 30. In addition, B6 plans to open offices in Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey—all within its first year.
