SLG SL Green Realty Corporation

SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG), Manhattan’s largest office landlord, today announced that it has signed retail leases totaling 66,014 square feet since the end of the first quarter of 2024 and has reached full retail occupancy at One Madison Avenue.

“One Madison Avenue epitomizes what a new office development should be to appeal to a new age workforce. Our goal was to curate an array of high-quality hospitality and lifestyle tenants to provide elevated live-work-play experiences for our tenants and the vibrant Flatiron neighborhood,” said Brett Herschenfeld, Executive Vice President, Retail and Opportunistic Investments at SL Green. “Our strong retail leasing across the portfolio is indicative of the appetite for unique, quality retail throughout New York City, driven by high foot traffic and an increase in New York City tourism.”

The new hospitality-focused retail tenants augment the building’s existing lifestyle flagship retail tenant Chelsea Piers, which will open its second Manhattan location at the tower in August 2024.

One Madison Avenue’s retail leasing achievements includes the following culinary offerings:

With influences drawn from the comfort of the American steakhouse blended with the classic Parisian dining scene, the restaurant will feature a 150-person main dining area, a cocktail bar in a dramatic lounge, private dining room, and an exclusive private omakase steak and seafood table to enjoy a unique dining experience. SL Green represented both the tenant and the landlord.
