Rent Types
The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.
1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.
2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.
3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.
4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.
5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.
6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.

About the Property
Rare Full-Building Headquarters Opportunity Just Off Fifth Avenue A striking prewar façade meets brand-new infrastructure in this rare full-building opportunity in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Encompassing approximately 13,500 square feet across five floors, the property offers a true blank canvas for a flagship retail concept, luxury showroom, private office headquarters, or mixed-use occupancy. Currently undergoing a comprehensive repositioning, the building features 25 feet of premier frontage, brand-new oversized south-facing windows, a large ADA-compliant elevator servicing every floor, an outdoor terrace on the fourth floor, four grandfathered flags providing exceptional branding and visibility, high ceilings throughout, and numerous base building improvements, among other enhancements. Unlike traditional office or retail opportunities, the property allows an occupier to design and build a headquarters tailored to its specific operational, branding, and programming requirements—an increasingly rare offering in one of Manhattan's most prestigious corridors. Located just steps from Fifth Avenue, the property places your business alongside global luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Prada, Bulgari, Gucci, Chanel, and Rolex, while offering significantly greater value than Fifth Avenue frontage. The location also benefits from immediate proximity to premier hospitality destinations including Aman New York, The St. Regis, The Peninsula, Four Seasons, and The Plaza, as well as Central Park and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). This is a unique opportunity to establish a flagship presence in one of New York City's most coveted commercial districts, combining historic character with modern infrastructure in a fully repositioned boutique building currently undergoing renovation.
