Comprised of approximately 149,000 rentable sq. ft., the property is currently 100 percent leased to seven tenants, including American Language Communication Center Inc., Early Bird Delivery Systems LLC and Spectaguard Acquisition LLC, among others.
“This is the second office building in the Garment District that we have placed under contract in just the last two weeks,” noted Michael A.
