HR Tech Firm Kombo Technologies Takes 8K SF at GFP’s 171 Madison Avenue

Human resources technology platform Kombo Technologies has signed an 8,400-square-foot lease in Midtown South.

Kombo, which enables software companies to work with HR, payroll and recruiting systems, will relocate from its current offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to GFP Real Estate’s 171 Madison Avenue, where it signed a two-year deal for the entire eighth floor, according to the landlord.

Asking rent for the building at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 33rd Street, one block east of the Empire State Building, is $55 per square foot, according to GFP.

“Kombo Technologies represents exactly the type of innovative, high-growth company we continue to attract to 171 Madison Avenue,” Allen Gurevich, who represented GFP in-house, said in a statement. “The building’s full-floor opportunities, strong natural light and central Midtown South location continue to attract emerging technology firms looking for efficient, high-quality space as they scale.”

Michael Thomas of Colliers negotiated on behalf of Kombo and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Other tenants in the 17-story office building include artificial intelligence startup Verneek, which signed a lease for 14,000 square feet in February, and insurance broker Relation Insurance Services, which took 4,883 square feet in July 2025. A 7-Eleven convenience store occupies the corner ground-floor retail space.
