Not Your Average Office Building

You know what’s cool about 145 East 57th Street office space? The building has actual history. Built back in 1926 by James J.F. Gavigan, this place has been home to Hammacher Schlemmer forever – yes, the people who invented the first pop-up toaster. After ABS Partners dropped nearly $63 million to buy it in 2016, they pumped another $10 million into renovations. So you get all that vintage charm without dealing with ancient plumbing or spotty internet.

Spaces You’ll Actually Enjoy Working In

Let’s talk about your actual office. At 145 East 57th Street office space, you’re looking at 64,000 square feet spread across 13 stories. Want high ceilings? You got it- 12 feet high! Hate those windows that never open? These modern tilt-and-turn ones actually let fresh air in. And whether you need a whole floor or just a corner of one, these spaces can be configured to fit your team perfectly. Plus, there’s even a sweet 2,650-square-foot penthouse if you’re feeling fancy.

Amenities That Make Your Workday Better

Forget useless amenities – here’s what actually matters:

  • Roof Deck: Escape your desk and hit the spacious rooftop when you need a mental break or want to impress clients.
  • Fast Elevators: Three brand-new high-speed elevators mean you’re not wasting precious minutes of your day waiting.
  • Slick Lobby: First impressions count, and the marble-finished entrance makes clients think “these folks have their act together.”
  • Always Open: Late-night crunch time? Early morning call with overseas clients? You can access the building 24/7.
  • Help When You Need It: On-site management means your AC gets fixed today, not next week.
