These leases include Freixenet USA, a sparkling wine producer, expanding to 3,400 square feet on the fourth floor of the property. The Sonoma, Calif.-based company, which had signed a lease in 2013 for 2,128 square feet, committed to five years.

And boutique law firm Shom & Littman renewed its 2,170-square-foot lease in a five-year deal.

Sherwood’s Adam Weissleder and Jill Burrowes represented the landlord in all of the aforementioned transactions in-house.
“With the construction of 100,000 square feet of new pre-built space over the past five years, 370 Lexington can deliver new space to a variety of tenants who need small to mid-size space very quickly,” said Mr. Weissleder in prepared remarks. “Featuring newly built light and airy interiors with exposed ceilings and loft-like appeal, this type of flexible office space continues to be in extremely high demand in the Grand Central Business District.”
Built in 1930, 370 Lexington Avenue spans 27 floors with approximately 310,000 square feet. It has consistently been at a 3 percent vacancy rate over the past four years.
