SL Green has quietly stitched together roughly 110,000 square feet of new office deals at 1185 Avenue of the Americas, landing four fresh tenants that nudge the 42-story Midtown tower to about 91% leased. The signings, covering law, advisory and healthcare tenants, offer another data point that well-located Sixth Avenue towers are still very much in play with the professional-services crowd.
Leases Signed
The latest batch of tenants runs the gamut from litigation to healthcare finance. Groombridge, Wu, Baughman & Stone LLP inked a 10-year lease for 42,866 square feet, taking the entire 37th floor and part of the 36th. UHY Advisors NY, Inc. grabbed the full 9th floor on a 10-year deal for 27,508 square feet. MTS Health Partners, LP signed a 10-year lease for the entire 34th floor at 29,166 square feet, while CFGI, LLC took 8,661 square feet on part of the 12th floor under a five-year term. Together, the four transactions cover about 109,859 square feet, according to the New York Real Estate Journal.
On the landlord side, Newmark represented SL Green on each of the deals, while tenant brokers from JLL and CBRE handled the various requirements. “We are excited to welcome these prestigious new tenants to 1185 Avenue of the Americas,” Steven Durels, SL Green's executive vice president and director of leasing and real property, said in comments reported by the New York Real Estate Journal.
Midtown Momentum
The wave of leasing follows a period of heavy rollover at the building, but it also lines up with a broader Midtown story, where the better-located, better-amenitized towers are starting to tighten up again. The Real Deal has tracked the recent churn at 1185 and the growing talk that the Sixth Avenue corridor is firming. Meanwhile, Colliers' Q4 2025 MarketBeat shows Manhattan leasing volume hitting its strongest quarter since 2019.
According to SL Green's own materials, 1185 Avenue of the Americas totals about 1.1 million square feet across 42 stories, with a renovated lobby, direct access to the Rockefeller Center concourse and close ties to major transit, sitting between West 46th and West 47th streets. The landlord has been upgrading common areas and repositioning the property to appeal to tenants that want modernized floor plates plus easy commutes, per SL Green.
Roughly 24,000 square feet from earlier turnover reportedly remains to be backfilled, and that leftover space is turning into a bit of a litmus test. Brokers say what happens next, whether these mid-market tenants eventually renew and grow in the building, will help show if Midtown's rebound can extend beyond splashy trophy deals. The Real Deal has noted management's commentary on the remaining rollover and the tower's recent leasing momentum.
