reprintsEnvironmental design firm Atelier Ten USA will move its U.S. headquarters to 11,137 square feet at 104 West 29th Street in Chelsea, Commercial Observer has learned.
Atelier Ten signed a 10-year lease for the entire eighth floor of the 12-story building between Sixth and Seventh avenues, according to tenant brokers Norman Bobrow & Company. Asking rent was $48 per square foot.
The firm — which has its headquarters in London and has outposts in Scotland, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, San Francisco and New Haven, Conn. — currently has a 5,000-square-foot New York City office at 45 East 20th Street. It plans to move to 104 West 29th Street in mid-December.
“Atelier is highly sought out for its high-end, sustainable, environmentally-friendly building, lighting and engineering designs,” Norman Bobrow & Company’s Michael Nazarian said in a statement. “They needed more space to grow their own business and bring on new staff.”
Nazarian represented Atelier Ten along with colleague Matt Kashani. The landlord, Samco Properties, handled it in-house via Joshua Smith. Smith did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other tenants in the 120,000-square-foot 104 West 29th Street include video production facility The Molecule, marketing agency B Squared and rug retailer Galerie Shabab.
