“Hyundai Motor Group is one of the world’s great institutions, and this partnership reflects the trust they have placed in SL Green to bring 15 Laight Street to its full potential,” said Harrison Sitomer, President and Chief Investment Officer of SL Green. “We are combining our credit capabilities with our leasing and operating expertise to create a seamless solution for a premier global partner and to create value in an exceptional building for prospective tenants.”
“Tribeca and Hudson Square are home to some of Manhattan’s most active creative, technology and media tenants, yet high-quality office supply remains meaningfully constrained,” said Steven Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing at SL Green. “The submarket has emerged as one of the most sought-after office destinations for leading technology and financial services firms, driven in large part by its appeal to the next generation of talent these companies compete aggressively to attract and retain. 15 Laight Street is a genuinely one-of-a-kind building with the abundant outdoor space, distinctive architectural design and best-in-class workplace quality that today’s most discerning tenants are seeking. We are bringing it to market at exactly the right moment.”
15 Laight Street offers tenants boutique office space across distinctive floor plates, featuring extensive outdoor terraces, oversized windows, healthy workplace infrastructure, and a curated amenity program. The building is available for immediate occupancy.
Doug Middleton of CBRE Group represented the ownership in the transaction. Leasing will be overseen by Steven Durels of SL Green and Ryan Alexander of CBRE.
