Newmark announces the Company has been appointed exclusive leasing agent for 130 Mercer, an iconic office property in SoHo, Manhattan, on behalf of new owner, Empire State Realty Trust (“ESRT”). The assignment will be led by President, New York Tri-State Region David Falk, Vice Chairman Peter Shimkin, Executive Managing Director Daniel Levine, and Director Dylan Weisman.

“Empire State Realty Trust brings a clear vision and long-term perspective to 130 Mercer and we’re proud to partner with them as the building enters its next chapter,” said Falk. “The building’s amenities will speak directly to what today’s users prioritize—performance-driven space, modern infrastructure and environments that support recruitment, retention and day-to-day productivity, all within an iconic SoHo setting.”

Strategically located between Spring and Prince Streets with frontage along both Mercer Street and Broadway, 130 Mercer has been comprehensively reimagined through a significant capital investment program. The building delivers a modernized, amenity-rich workplace environment anchored by a 290-person town hall; reimagined lobby spaces; a terrace; a forthcoming state-of-the-art fitness center; and fully upgraded building systems designed to support today’s occupier with efficient infrastructure, security and performance.

The building has a 112,600-square-foot contiguous block spanning three full floors, with oversized windows and exposed brick—a rare opportunity in one of Manhattan’s most supply-constrained office markets.
