FISHER BROTHERS HOLDS “NIGHT ON PARK AVENUE” EVENT AT 299 PARK AVENUE New York, NY (October 4, 2017) –– Fisher Brothers hosted more than 300 of New York City’s top brokers for its Night on Park Avenue event at 299 Park Avenue on September 13. The event showcased the iconic 42-story Plaza District tower, which is set to undergo a renovation starting in early 2018. During his remarks, Fisher Brothers Partner Winston Fisher noted that the firm’s work on 299 Park Avenue will be the final piece of an ambitious $165 million program to reimagine and modernize its entire 5.5 million square foot Manhattan office portfolio. “Each of our buildings has undergone or is currently undergoing an extensive renovation that goes much deeper than a standard refresh,” said Mr. Fisher. “We’ve worked with top designers and architecture firms to totally transform the aesthetic of our buildings with updated entrances, more welcoming lobbies, and enlivened outdoor spaces.” Mr. Fisher told those in attendance that the 299 Park Avenue project will include a reimagined lobby with a high-end design and more open feel; a transformation of the entrance that will allow natural light to fill the lobby; and an illuminated plaza backed by a new exterior lighting system. “Working with David Rockwell and his team, we are reinventing the building with a sleek, stylish design that truly reflects its prestigious Park Avenue address,” said Mr. Fisher. Fisher Brothers has appointed Newmark Knight Frank as the exclusive leasing agent for 299 Park Avenue. In conjunction with the Fisher Brothers leasing team, Newmark Knight Frank is currently marketing over 341,000 rentable square feet of office space across four contiguous floors at the building. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons and built by Fisher Brothers, 299 Park Avenue is a 42- story, 1.2 million square foot office tower which opened in 1967. The building is currently 90 percent leased by a range of world-class companies, including Capital One and UBS.
