Situs Holdings 13,650 square feet

 

Situs Holdings has taken 13,650 square feet at 48 Wall Street, a Downtown office building owned by the real estate investor Kent Swig.

 

The company, a real estate advi­sory firm, took the building’s entire 14th floor in the deal for rents in the $30s per square foot.

 

Jonathan Dean, an in-house leasing executive at Swig’s real estate firm., Swig Equities, who handled the deal, said that 48 Wall Street has attracted takers for its address and the dearth of space otherwise available on Wall Street.

 

“Almost half the buildings on Wall Street were converted to res­idential, most of the towers on the south side of the street,” Mr. Dean said. “With the rise of the Downtown market, there are a lot of tenants that really want to be here. It’s the kind of address that’s recognized around the globe.”

 

After the deal with Situs, Mr.

 

Dean is turning his attention to two vacant floors, eight and nine.

 

“They have a beautiful instal­lation, exposed ceilings and an interconnecting staircase,” Mr. Dean said, noting that the space _ was formerly occupied by the ar­chitecture firm Gensler, which is known as being a premier designer of office interiors.

 

Swig is asking $35 per square foot for the two floors.

 

“We’ve seen a lot of strong activ­ity for the space,” Mr. Dean said.

48 Wall - Kent SwigSitus Holdings, a real estate advisory firm, has inked a lease for 13,650 square feet at 48 Wall Street, landlord Swig Equities said today.

Situs will take the entire 14th floor of the 324,000-square-foot, 34-story office tower, located at the intersection of Wall and William streets. Industry sources said asking rents for the space were in the “high $30s” per square foot.

The move was a “significant expansion,”
for Situs, “a dramatically growing,
global company,” said Jonathan Dean, director of commercial leasing for Swig Equities. Situs has another office at 150 East 52nd Street, at Lexington Avenue. The space at 48 Wall Street is their first Lower Manhattan office, and it will serve mostly new hires, a company representative said.

This lease brings the tower’s occupancy rate to 88 percent, Swig said.

Swig purchased 48 Wall Street in 1998, in a partnership with MacDonald & Cie, an investment bank. The building is home to the Museum of American Finance as well as Rockefeller Center Business Centers, an executive suite provider; Conway Farrell Curtin & Kelly P.C., a law firm and D.F. King, which provides investor communications services to public companies.

Situs Holdings was represented by a Cushman & Wakefield team of Joseph Fabrizi and William Overlock, who were not immediately available for comment. The landlord was represented in-house by Jonathan Dean.
