Olshan Handles Creation of 99-Year Ground Lease on Office Building for Kaufman Organization

The Real Deal, Commercial Observer, and New York Real Estate Journal reported that Olshan client Kaufman Organization recently executed a 99-year ground lease for a 12-story office building known as The Haymarket Building, which is located at 135 West 29th Street. The deal marks the continuation of the expansion of leased office buildings by Kaufman since last November when they signed ground leases for two office buildings only a few blocks away from the newly leased property. Olshan real estate partner Thomas Kearns and corporate associate Robert Gagne represented the Kaufman Organization with negotiating the ground lease with help from paralegal Vanessa Rodriquez.
