Coldwell Banker grows at 555 Madison Avenue.

Coldwell Banker Commercial Properties Unlimited recently expanded its presence at 555 Madison Avenue, taking 6,500 s/f of office space and 2,800 s/f of outdoor space--the second largest garden space for any commercial tenant in Midtown Manhattan--on the 12th floor at the Class A555 Madison Avnue. The new facility holds 25 brokers and is meant to dramatically expand Coldwell Banker Commercial's presence in Manhattan.

"Our firm is concentrating on office leasing, retail leasing and investment sales," said David Michonski, CEO Coldwell Banker Commercial Unlimited Properties.

"The investment sales component is a natural fit with new developments marketing which is our fastest growing part of the business. Both needed to expand and we wanted to do so into what I think unarguably the nicest commercial brokerage office in Manhattan. Now we are turning our attention to hiring additional brokers to fill the specialties we want to cover."

"We visited more than 10 types of offices throughout Manhattan," said Michonski, "and knew I did not want this office to be traditional in design. We wanted to represent the culture and values that make Coldwell Banker Commercial Properties Unlimited Properties a singular presence in the real estate community."

Michonski tapped architect David McAlpin of Fradkin & McAlpin Associates LLP to design the office space.
