Operating out of two offices—one in New York and one in Montreal—the firm has established strong relationships with international airlines such as Brussels Airlines, Czech Airlines, TAP Portugal, Virgin Airlines.
Plusgrade was represented by a pair of executive managing directors and principals from Lee & Associates, David Someck and Mitchell Kunikoff. Stephanie Moore, a sales associate from Tarter Stats O’Toole represented the landlord, the Eretz Group, in the transaction.
The Eretz Group has remained stern on their demands and is known to shift around leasing agents but Tarter Stats O’Toole has established a close relationship with the management company, having worked together on 39 West 38th Street, 252 West 37th Street, and 485 Seventh Avenue.
