Our very own Arnav Vaid was honored in this year’s edition of Commercial Observer’s Top Young Professionals! Arnav has become an integral part of the AmTrust team in just under three years since he joined us as an analyst. Now a full-time associate on our acquisitions and asset management team, Arnav works closely with AmTrust RE President Jonathan Bennett to expand and optimize our New York City commercial real estate portfolio. Arnav helped drive the acquisition of 360 Lexington Avenue — a 268,000 SF office tower in Midtown — and has supported leasing efforts that have helped boost occupancy from 60% to 80% in just six months. His work reflects the strategic approach to real estate that AmTrust RE continues to embrace. Congratulations to Arnav on this well-deserved recognition. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e7pvwxe6 #CommercialRealEstate #Leadership #CommercialObserver #TeamAmTrust #Acquisitions #CRE #NYCRealEstate

How are office property owners adapting to today’s market? A new Forbes piece by Jeffrey Steele highlights how creative strategies — like opening office spaces for alternative uses — are generating new revenue streams and creating more dynamic workplaces. AmTrust’s own Jonathan Bennett shares his perspective: “Opening amenity spaces for non-tenant uses creates a more vibrant workplace environment and can also introduce cost savings opportunities for tenants.” That’s why 1 Events at One East Wacker, our newly renovated event space, is now available for public and private use. Suited for both personal and professional events, our fully outfitted amenity spaces offer a great place in the heart of Chicago to host any occasion. Interested in learning more about this trend?

We’re looking forward to seeing our Chicago office tower, 135 South LaSalle, transform into a pace-setting mixed-use development for this important metro corridor — introducing new residential as well as commercial space and parking to the community. The largest redevelopment project in the City of Chicago’s LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, the conversion of approximately one-half of 135 S. LaSalle, a 1.4 million-square-foot building, will be a major undertaking. Conversion projects yield a variety of design and MEP complexities. As such, we’re pleased to have a phenomenal team at SCB working with our Chicago team, as well as the support of our development partners Riverside Investment & Development Company and DL3 Realty, to help transform 135 South LaSalle into a modern, activated and energy-efficient space for future residents to enjoy.

The design for 135 South LaSalle - an ambitious adaptive reuse project and a cornerstone of the City of Chicago's LaSalle Street Reimagined program - is featured in a recent Engineering News-Record story exploring office-to-residential conversions in major US cities. Formerly known as the Field Building, 135 South LaSalle is the largest development in the LaSalle Street Reimagined portfolio, encompassing 624,000-square-feet. Once complete, the project will deliver 386 new residential units and 92,000-square-feet of retail and commercial space, helping to usher in a vibrant new chapter for the historic LaSalle Street corridor. Office-to-residential conversions offer a promising path for reducing vacancies and increasing urban housing supply and can deliver substantial environmental benefits, but they are also complex, complicated projects. "The economics are critical" on conversions "because you'll get to a threshold where it might lay out nicely, but it's too expensive to support the future income. Further, you have to bring [a historic building] up to current code," SCB president and CEO Chris Pemberton says. "We're reviewing the energy model for the exterior envelope very closely. We're going to replace all of the windows with more modern ones, but it is a landmark facade. We'll work in close collaboration with the landmark preservationists on that."

We’re proud to announce the signing of two leases at our recently acquired Midtown office building, 360 Lexington Avenue. Long-time tenant Webster Bank is expanding its space and new tenant Signers National is moving into the tower, with the two occupying a combined 60,000 square feet. Strong demand for well-located real estate continues to be a priority for office tenants, with 360 Lexington Avenue — only steps away from Grand Central Terminal — now nearing 80% leased! We’re pleased to see such rapid growth of this office community and hope to spur further growth with exciting renovations to the building's interior and exterior! A special thank you to our AmTrust team, as well as a JLL team of Jeff Szczapa and Drew Saunders, who represented the tenant, and Mitch Konsker, Benjamin Bass, Barbara Winter and Thomas Swartz, who represented the landlord. Great to see the leasing news in steve cuozzo’s recent New York Post article: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e5pCs7xJ #AmTrustRE #newyorkpost #newyorkcitycre #lexingtonavenue #newyorkcityoffice #nyccre #nycofficeleasing #newyorkcitycommercialrealestate #nyccommercialrealestate #northeastcommercialrealestate

We are continuing to make great strides at 135 S LaSalle Street. Once Chicago’s largest office tower, the iconic, prewar building will make history once more as one of the country’s most significant office-to-residential conversions. With plans approved by the city of Chicago late last year, this landmark building will be fitted with nearly 400 residential units and an expansive 92,000 square-foot commercial space with a variety of retail options critical to activating LaSalle Street. As long-time members of the community, we’re thrilled to be bringing a mixed-use development to the Loop, reinvigorating the neighborhood at the center of Chicago. We are excited about our partnership with Riverside Investment & Development Company and DL3 Realty, who are helping to bring this vision to life. A special thank you to ULI Chicago for covering the progress at 135 S LaSalle! #AmTrustRE #officetoresi #chicagoloop #chicagocommercialrealestate #downtownchicago #residentialrealestate #adaptivereuse #illinoisrealestate
This week our work on LaSalle Street was featured by ULI Chicago Planned during the Roaring ‘20s and completed in 1934 during the Great Depression, the Field Building at 135 South LaSalle was Chicago's largest office tower and the fourth largest in the U.S. for 25 years. This historic landmark is set to become one of the country’s most significant office-to-residential conversions, contributing to the Loop's transformation into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. The project, led by Riverside Investment & Development Company, AmTrustRE, and DL3 Realty, recently received initial City approvals, with final approvals anticipated this fall. Phase one will introduce 386 residential units, parking, and a dynamic 92,000-square-foot retail hub featuring food and beverage options and neighborhood amenities across three floors, infusing the street with energy 24/7. The development team recently completed demolition on level two, originally a Grand Banking Hall, opening the space for events and tours. Through collaboration between ULI Chicago and the City's Department of Planning & Development, this project is helping redefine the Loop, beginning with its iconic LaSalle Street corridor. By modernizing this landmark, the Field Building will introduce vital housing and amenities for workers, residents, and visitors, strengthening Chicago’s status as a dynamic economic and cultural hub. #ChicagoDevelopment #ULIChicago #LaSalleStreet #AdaptiveReuse #RiversideID
