Paul Amrich

PA: W&H is a multi-generational landlord with a great track record. I brought TKD to 1350 Broadway because I was confident that ownership would perform. In addition, I was impressed by the plans for the major renovations that the property is undergoing. It will be a completely different property six to nine months from now.

What were the major factors underlying TKD's decision to lease space at the property?

PA: There were several. One, TKD was impressed by the quality of the installation, which, incidentally, had an existing layout designed for a law firm. Two, the space offered good value. Three, many TKD employees commute through Penn Station, so the location is exceptionally convenient for them. And four, the light, air, and views of Herald Square are unmatched. TKD's conference center will be one of the best places from which to observe the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the performances in front of Macy's.

What were the leasing negotiations like?

PA: I worked closely with Newmark Knight Frank agents, who represented the landlord, and I was extremely impressed by them. They're honest and trustworthy professionals who deliver on their promises. As a result, the negotiations went smoothly.

Any other comments you'd like to share?

PA: W&H's strong reputation in the real estate community is further enhanced by the quality and commitment of its representatives and by its investments in its properties, which are reshaping the Broadway corridor. It's a pleasure doing business with them.
