Harbor Group International has recorded a burst of leasing activity at its office property at 55 Broadway, where CBRE has completed several office leases totaling 77,000 square feet over the past six months. The new commitments include AFS Intercultural Programs, Argus Research Group, Axon Health and Meaden & Moore, reflecting a diverse mix of users opting to relocate to the building.
Alongside the new leases, a number of existing tenants at 55 Broadway have chosen to deepen their commitments to the property. Summit Management, 1000 Heads, Syscom and Rozario Touma all executed renewals and in-building expansions during the same period, signaling sustained tenant confidence in the asset and its location.
The leasing campaign at 55 Broadway is being led by CBRE, with a team comprising Brad Gerla, Jonathan Cope and Hayden Pascal. The trio represents the building’s ownership and has been working in concert with Cordelia Meserow, vice president of asset management at Harbor Group International. Affiliates of Harbor Group acquired 55 Broadway in 2014, and the landlord continues to actively asset-manage the property.
Gerla noted that 55 Broadway has seen what he described as “incredible” leasing momentum over the last six months, encompassing new leases, renewals and expansions. He characterized the property as a “Financial District gem,” underscoring its position within one of Lower Manhattan’s established office corridors.
A key dynamic behind the recent activity is the movement of tenants away from office buildings that are being targeted for future residential conversion. The four newest tenants at 55 Broadway are all relocating from office properties that have plans to be converted to residential use, a trend that continues to reshape the office inventory in Lower Manhattan.
Meserow highlighted that this pattern of residential conversions, coupled with limited new office development in the area, is tightening the supply of quality office options. In her view, this environment positions well-located, high-quality office assets such as 55 Broadway to benefit from a more supply-constrained submarket, as tenants seek stable, long-term office accommodations while nearby buildings transition to residential use.
The recent activity at 55 Broadway illustrates how leasing demand is being redirected within Lower Manhattan as the balance between office and residential uses evolves. With multiple tenants choosing to expand or relocate into the building and office stock shrinking through conversions, the property is capturing interest from both new and existing occupiers looking for continuity in a changing market.
