Independent public relations firm Robert Marston and Associates Inc., financial services consultant S.D. Daniels & Co. and law firm Klein Zelman Rothermel LLP are among the other tenants who signed there in recent months, for asking rents of $55 per square foot.

Mr. Brady attributed 485 Madison’s success to recent upgrades that brought energy-efficient windows and central air conditioning as well as modernized elevators. “The lease-up is a testament to our ambitious building-wide capital improvement program, which has helped attract new tenants and retain old ones as well,” he said in a prepared statement.

Univision has had radio stations and marketing divisions in the building since 1995. Avison Young and Jack Resnick & Sons did not respond to immediate requests for comment.
