The Real Deal New York

The Lansco Corporation is a full-service real estate firm founded in 1965. Lansco prides itself on taking on any commercial space, from big box retailers to theme restaurants and corporate expansions. Many of its office leasing opportunities are in Midtown or Chelsea, though a handful also are in the outer boroughs. Among its most recent deals are the underground retail space Turnstile, which Lansco helped handle in 2014 on behalf of the tenants and landlord. The location, located at the subway station in Columbus Circle, includes more than 1,200 square feet of retail space. Lansco also landed the 20-year lease by Bowlmor at the old New York Times Building in Times Square, though the deal would lead to a lawsuit by Lansco over allegedly stolen commissions. In 2011 Lansco received accolades for its representation of discount stores Filene’s Basement and Syms Clothing at 530 Fifth Avenue. Lansco also has partnered and helped found commercial real estate conglomerate Corporate Facility Advisors International to establish an international presence in 80 overseas markets and in Canada.
