Fisher Brothers’ office portfolio — including 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 299 Park Avenue, 605 Third Avenue and Park Avenue Plaza at 55 East 52nd Street — had a strong 2025 and a good start to 2026, with occupancy currently at 94 percent.

Case in point: The law firm Paul, Weiss, which had taken 765,000 square feet at 1345 Avenue of the Americas in 2023 — the largest lease of that year in New York City — expanded that footprint to 849,672 square feet in July 2025. Fisher Brothers had repositioned the building with a $120 million investment in equipment upgrades and a new amenities floor.

“From the New York perspective, we’re really proud of our leasing,” said Winston Fisher. “We just did a $114-per-square-foot lease at 605 Third Avenue. Our leasing, in many ways, keeps defining the market in New York. I’m really proud that we keep helping the market in New York establish value.”

Fisher Brothers also completed a $500 million refinancing of 299 Park Avenue. And, last May, Blackstone secured $850 million in commercial mortgage-backed securities financing to purchase a 49 percent stake in 1345 Avenue of the Americas.

On the residential side, Fisher Brothers began leasing Joule House in Miami, which includes 308 rental units, 26,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, and almost 25,000 square feet of amenities.

Fisher Brothers also plans to expand its experiential Area15 complex in Las Vegas to include possible hospitality, residential, entertainment and sports-related components, all designed to create a full-on experiential neighborhood.

The company also continued its philanthropic efforts through Fisher House Foundation, which provides accommodations for families of service members and veterans being treated for illness or injuries far from home, among other forms of assistance. The company likewise supports the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Foundation, which also provides assistance to military families. The Fisher family founded the Intrepid Museum Foundation, which supports the museum housed in an aircraft carrier docked on Manhattan’s West Side.

“This is the 250th birthday of this nation. The Intrepid is going to play a big role in that celebration in July,” said Kenneth Fisher. “There’s a lot to be excited about. From Winston and my perspective, we couldn’t be prouder about this.”
