A CBRE team led by Brian Gell and Laurence Briody represented the union, which represents 100,000 people in the U.S. and Canada. David Turino, commercial leasing director at Feil, represented the landlord in-house.

“Feil made the corporate decision not to pursue tenants that would occupy a full floor or multiple floors, but wanted to diversify the mix and assist existing tenants who wanted to grow,” a Feil spokesperson said. “By leasing carefully and relocating existing tenants over 18 months, the building will be nearly fully occupied with a combination of new and existing users.” [NYO]Mark Maurer
