-- Youth camp and enrichment organization moves to third floor in centrally located Midtown office property --
Handler Real Estate Organization announced today that it has arranged a long-term lease at its 561 7th Avenue property, with Oasis Children’s Services taking the entire 3,944-square-foot third floor. The new space will serve as the youth camp and enrichment organization’s headquarters.
Relocating from Dumbo, Oasis Children’s Services is scheduled to occupy its new offices in the fourth quarter of 2016, pending build-out. Established in 2000, Oasis is dedicated to a community-oriented, holistic approach to youth development for children ages 3 - 15. Oasis collaborates with schools, youth-service organizations and public agencies to create outstanding summer camps, summer enrichment programs, and year round programs from children and families.
“Oasis Children’s Services is a successful, well-regarded children’s camp and youth enrichment organization that provides a wonderful service for children and their families,” said Handler Principal and CEO Scott Galin, who along with Richard Farley and Darell Handler represented ownership in the transaction. “We are delighted to welcome them to 561 7th Avenue.”
Darell Handler added that Oasis relocated to Midtown due to the central location, access to all mass transit, and overall quality of the property.
Jordan Brustein and Eric Zemachson, of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, represented the tenant in the transaction.
Located at the corner of West 40th Street, 561 Seventh Avenue is an 81,214-square-foot office tower with 24-hour/7-day access, an attended lobby, and on-site security. The property is nearly 100 percent leased, with array of tenants from the finance, legal, nonprofit, entertainment, and fashion sectors, among others.
