Time Warner grabs 20K square feet in Flatiron

Time Warner Cable inked a 20,000-square-foot deal to open a flagship for its interactive Experience Store at the former site of Castro Convertibles in the Flatiron District. 

The space at 43 West 23rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, includes 14,000 square feet on the ground floor and 3,500 square feet on the mezzanine, the New York Post reported. The top level will be for conference rooms and offices.

CBRE brokers Meredith LaPier and Annette Healey represented the tenant, while Cassidy Turley brokers Michael Hofmann, Bob Billingsley and Mark Boisi represented the Castro family that owns the building.

Time Warner Cable has been asking condominium building superintendents to spy on residents to see if they were stealing cable, as previously reported. [NYP, 4th item] — Mark Maurer
