One Grand Central Place
Boutique investment firm Prager Sealy & Co. signed a deal at the building that is a zip code unto itself. The W&H-owned One Grand Central Place, which likes to tout its “white-glove corporate environment,” has had its best leasing year ever, according to senior vice president Fred Posniak.
Prager Sealy will take 7,800 square feet on the neo-gothic tower’s 16th floor, committing to a 10-year lease. The asking rent was about $50 a square foot. Rising over Grand Central Terminal, the building underwent an $85 million renovation completed last year.
The New York offices of the San Francisco-headquartered Prager Sealy, whose clientele ranges from John Hopkins University to Walt Disney, were previously based at 99 Park Avenue.
