Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce it has been selected as the exclusive leasing agent for 900 Stewart Avenue, a 250,000-square-foot Class A office building in Garden City, New York. The 5th and 6th floors of the building contain 92,000 square feet of contiguous space. Managing Directors Daniel Oliver and Scott Berfas and Associate Director Jordan Oliver are handling the leasing assignment on behalf of the owners Onyx Equities and The Davis Companies.
The space, which was previously occupied by JP Morgan Chase, has been reconfigured for multi-tenant use. The building recently underwent a multi-million-dollar capital improvement program complete with all new common areas and bathrooms, covered parking area, 50-foot glass atrium, barista café in the lobby area with seating and has achieved Wired Silver status, providing great connectivity for businesses.
“900 Stewart Avenue offers the largest contiguous block of Class A office space in Nassau County and is a very rare opportunity with a prestigious Garden City address” said Daniel Oliver. “The asset checks all the boxes for companies that are looking for a first-class work environment and ownership has committed a significant investment into the project to make that happen,” said Scott Berfas.
The respective six-story building offers convenient access to the LIRR train stations via a NICE bus stop on Stewart Avenue, is steps away from the Meadowbrook Parkway and less than two miles from the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway. The building is also located only minutes from Roosevelt Field Shopping Center and major hotels. Current tenants at 900 Stewart Avenue include Aon Insurance, Bottom Line Technologies and Mass Mutual.
