554-568 Eighth Avenue

Asset Description

JLL has been retained on an exclusive basis to arrange for the sale of 554-568 Eighth Avenue (the “Property”), a rare, 21-story, corner office building delivered 100% vacant in Midtown Manhattan. Configured as 309,703 rentable square feet with 232’ of wraparound corner frontage (99’ on Eighth Avenue & 133’ on West 38th Street), the Property is a blank slate providing investors with multiple ways to create value. While current zoning allows for immediate, as-of-right, mixed-use positioning for office, retail, community facility or an end user, the expected Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX) rezoning would allow for residential conversion enhanced by the favorable 467-m tax abatement.
