New York University leased the building in 2007 and converted it for graduate student dormitory use, according to CoStar. Three years later, The Art Institute of New York City signed a five-year lease for the entire 26-story, 41,500-square-foot building, allowing to consolidate its student housing at one location.

Meridian’s David Schechtman, Lipa Lieberman and Abie Kassin are listing the property. Mr. Schechtman, then at Eastern Consolidated, sold the building on behalf of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2007. The brokers declined to comment via the spokesman.
