Although the prebuilt spaces
are of a prearranged size, the
walls can be moved to cater to
diferent layouts. A law frm, for
example, might require all ofces,
while a fnancial services frm
might need an open layout to ac-
commodate a trading foor. The
design is very fexible, to cater
to permanent ofces or trading
components, Mr. Turchin noted.
Boston Properties 250 West 55th Street is set to come online early next
month with key tenants Morrison & Foerster and Kaye Scholer having
already snapped up close to half of the building. CBRE, one of the lead
leasing agents at the building, is already planning for tenant expansion,
offering short-term (five- to seven-year) leases for a variety of prebuilt
spaces on the buildings 25th floor. Ranging from approximately 3,200
square feet to 5,700 square feet, each space is flexibly designed to
cater to a range of tenants, including law and financial services. Though
CBRE has yet to begin marketing the space officially, the leasing team is
already in discussions with one potential financial services tenant. Peter
Turchin, executive vice president and landlord representative, spoke to
the The Commercial Observer last week about the buildings 25th floor,
where work is being completed, and what opportunities abound at 250
West 55th Street. Were just finishing up the units right now, said Mr.
Turchin. These will be completed in the next week to two weeks and
theyre going to come online the first week after Labor Day.

The majority of the units have a
direct entrance near the foors
elevator bank. Every unit includes
a reception area and a confer-
ence room near reception.
Dubbed a modern version of
Lever House, 250 West 55th
Street is set back from the street,
creating signifcant distance from
nearby buildings and ofering im-
pressive views of the city. Every
unit has views either to the north,
south, east or west, said Mr.
Turchin, adding that four of the
fve prebuilt spaces are corner
ofces.
All of the ofce fronts will be
glass and will include 10-foot
ceiling heights and 10-foot doors,
an unusual feature for a com-
mercial property, Mr. Turchin said.
The ceiling height is extremely
uniqueand combine that with
10-foot doors, its really a unique
product.
With its open layout, Unit C has
been predesigned to cater to
a fnancial services frm with a
large trading component. But Mr.
Turchin was quick to point out
that all units can be converted to
suit the tenants needs. The units
are very fexible, he stressed.
All building systems, including
HVAC, are located in the core of
the building, eliminating the need
for penetration and corridors
along the north and south walls,
and creating a more efcient use
of the property.
