What the office-space crisis has looked like for one stretch of Midtown East.
The former headquarters of Girl Scouts of the USA, this class-B building sat 40 percent vacant for a while before being sold to Empire Capital Holdings and Namdar Realty Group for $72 million last year. These days, Empire and Namdar are two of the few investors on an office-buying spree, snapping up distressed buildings at bargain prices.The Durst Organization is finishing up a $150 million renovation of this 1969 Emery Roth & Sons–designed building.
One of them, K2 Intelligence, moved to 730 Third. This tower signed a 27,000-square-foot lease last year with a large Manhattan law firm that was downsizing from 48,000 square feet in the Financial District — a win for this stretch but a loss for the office market overall.The site where Bernie Madoff once ran his Ponzi scheme, the red-granite tower known as the Lipstick Building has long served as a counterpoint to the blandness of the rest of Third Avenue.
