NEW YORK CITY - The public relations firm of Peter Brown, an associate of the Beatles and
author of "The Love You Make," a Beatles biography, has signed a lease at W&H Properties'
250 West 57th Street, announces Barry Zeller, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield,
the building's leasing and managing agent.
The firm, Brown Lloyd James (BLJ), which represents such clients as Andrew Lloyd
Webber and his production company, The Really Useful Group, Ltd., the BBC, Forbes,
AARP, Polo Ralph Lauren, Christie's and IBM, will move into its 3,756-square-foot space in
mid-December from its current location on 41 West 57th Street.
"Peter Brown should feel right at home here," says Mr. Zeller. "We have plenty of
famous tenants on site, such as Al Roker, author Robert Caro, and Butch Lewis, the boxing
promoter and manager and actors' agent, to name a few."
BLJ is a strategic communications consultancy offering high-level public relations
advice to organizations and individuals, including media handling, reputation management
and business development. The firm has offices in New York, London and Doha, Qatar.
Ruth Colp Haber of Wharton Property Advisors, Inc. represented the tenant in the
lease negotiations.
A $82-million capital improvement program has recently concluded at 250 West 57th
Street. The renovations include new windows, elevator cabs, upgraded building systems,
refurbished air-conditioned public corridors, and a renovated lobby and concierge desk.
The building also has a newly renovated entrance to the 59th Street subway station, which
gives tenants access to eight lines. Stops for four bus lines are nearby.
Space availability at 250 West 57th Street ranges from 854 to 20,328 rentable square
feet. Some of these units are pre-built offices, with new ceilings, lighting, flooring, and
highly efficient space layouts, which are ready for immediate occupancy.
Part of the W&H Properties portfolio, 250 West 57th Street is owned by Fisk Building
Associates LLC, a partnership led by Peter L. Malkin.
Broker commissions are paid 100% upon lease signing.
