EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
661 Lexington Avenue (“the Property”) is a long-term leasehold opportunity for a premier
office building located in Midtown East. Built in 1902, the Property sits on the heavily
trafficked Northeast corner of Lexington Avenue and East 55th Street.

This nine story building features over 35,000 Sq. Ft. of above grade plus a selling
basement, currently used as a restaurant, that encompasses a large majority of the lower
level. The floor plates on the 2nd through 7th floors are approximately 4,800 Sq. Ft.
each, making it the perfect location for midsize tenants or a single user. The 8th and 9th
floors provide the opportunity to create a duplex with multiple outdoors spaces. Zoning
in the area also allows for the utilization of the 22,570 Sq. Ft. of unused development
rights to increase the overall square footage of the building.

The ground floor features over 140 feet of wraparound frontage with three in-place
tenants, all with excellent visibility and exposure. The 55th Street corner is centrally
located and surrounded by a mix of office, retail, and residential buildings. Just blocks
away from all major subway lines and walking distance to Grand Central, 661 Lexington
Avenue offers optionality to investors and users.

                                                                                        6

ADVANTAGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

661 Lexington Avenue has the advantage of being situated at the
Northeast corner of East 55th Street affording it excellent visibility, light,
and air. The property’s light and air is further enhanced by being locat-
ed diagonally across the Historic Central Synagogue, a New York City and
National Landmarked building.

The property can be delivered with a clear path to full vacancy at the time
of closing, making it available for investors, developers, or users to begin
immediate redevelopment. The property being unencumbered by
long-term leases or rent regulation allows a new operator to immediately
pursue their business plans for the property’s future use.

Additional advantages include:

• Corner property with over 35,000 gross sq. ft. as well as a renovated
  selling basement

• Ability to increase square footage with existing unused development
  rights, as well as potential future assemblage linchpin

• Flexible zoning permits residential, retail, commercial, and community
  facility uses

• Above average ceiling heights and well-located core

• New elevator mechanicals as of August 2019

• Over 140’ of total frontage

• Not Landmarked or in an Historical District

• Full building branding opportunity on a busy Midtown East corner

EAST MIDTOWN
Bounded by Park Avenue and the East River between East 59th Street and
East 42nd Street, East Midtown is a neighborhood with a unique blend
of major employment centers, several different submarkets, and a high
concentration of residential uses.

The submarkets that make up East Midtown include the area surrounding
the United Nations Headquarters to the Southeast, Turtle Bay neighborhood
at the heart of East Midtown, and the Sutton Place neighborhood offering
affluent residential living options. The greatest driver of pedestrian and
commuter activity in East Midtown is the major employment centers and
high concentration of office buildings that East Midtown draws from on
Madison Avenue, Park Avenue, Lexington Avenue, and 3rd Avenue. These
concentrated office corridors make up roughly ±52 million SF in existing
office space with ±905,000 SF of additional office space under construction.
Some projects under construction include L&L Holding’s 425 Park Avenue
office tower and Boston Properties 159 East 53rd Street ±200,000 SF office
building. Hundreds of thousands of employees within East Midtown spurs
demand for a range of daytime general service, food/beverage, and retailers
year-round.

                                                                          8

EAST MIDTOWN                                                     MIDTOWN, NEW YORK

    Coupled with large office inventory on the western side of the neighborhood,
    the eastern part of the neighborhood is home to a plethora of cooperative
    and condominium walk-up and elevator buildings. The condo concentration
    is more evident in Turtle Bay, between 3rd Avenue and 1st Avenue from
    East 53rd St down to East 45th Street. The cooperative buildings are
    primarily located between 1st Avenue and Sutton Place between East 59th
    Street and East 51st Street.The United Nations Headquarters and complex
    is located between 1st Avenue and The East River and is surrounded
    by a high concentration of foreign government embassies, consulates,
    non-governmental organizations, foundations, and nonprofit organizations.

    As part of the rezoning for the Special Midtown District (MiD) the New
    York City Planning and Zoning has created the East Midtown sub-district
    as a long-term guide to development of office space for the next several
    decades. This sub-district was established in 2017 and encourages new office
    development, offers incentives to improvement of pedestrian areas and
    improvements of transit access when coupled with new office development.
