GFP Real Estate recently announced more than 20,000 square feet of new leasing activity at 322 Eighth Ave. in Chelsea, including transactions with AccuWeather Sales and Service, LLC (AccuWeather®) and Promethean Builders LLC. The transactions underscore strong momentum following a series of capital improvements and GFP’s ongoing strategy of repositioning well-located Class B office assets.
“322 Eighth Avenue is having a real moment,” said Jeffrey Gural, Chairman of GFP Real Estate. “We’ve made a deliberate investment in repositioning the building—from the lobby and rooftop amenity to the overall tenant experience—and we’re seeing that translate directly into leasing momentum. Today’s tenants are prioritizing quality, flexibility and amenities, and this building delivers on all three.”
AccuWeather, the most trusted source of weather forecasts and warnings with proven Superior Accuracy™, provides customized weather forecasts, data, warnings and services to people, businesses, media, and government agencies worldwide. AccuWeather has signed a new five-year lease for 6,583 square feet on the third floor at the property and expects to take occupancy following completion of its buildout this spring, combining two existing suites into a fully modernized office layout.
In a separate transaction, Promethean Builders LLC, a construction firm, has signed a new seven-year lease for 10,200 square feet, occupying the entire 13th floor of the building. The company, which will relocate from 505 8th Ave., will utilize the space for general, executive and administrative office use. Promethean Builders will take possession following delivery of its space at the end of March and plans to complete its own tenant improvements.
Allen Gurevich of GFP Real Estate represented the landlord, GFP Real Estate, in both transactions.
Built in 1925 and designed by architects George and Edward Blum in a neo-gothic style, 322 Eighth Ave. is a 21-story, 185,000-square-foot office building located in Chelsea.
