The Kaufman Organization closed on its long-term NoMad ground lease at 236 Fifth Avenue, which is
valued at $64.5 million, sources told The Real Deal.
The deal works out to more than $800 per square foot for the 99-year leasehold on the 11-story, 80,000-
square-foot property. Kaufman negotiated the deal with property owner LCT Associates, as TRD originally
reported.
“I think both parties have a benefit with this structure,” said Michael Kazmierski, Kaufman’s director of
acquisitions, who negotiated the deal along with colleagues Fred Leffel and Grant Greenspan. “Ground
leases still represent a great solution for multi-generational owners who have protected a long-term cash-
flow stream and also provide a tax-efficient structure.”
Kaufman plans to spend $10 million upgrading the building, including renovating the lobby, upgrading
elevators and installing new fiber optic/telecommunications infrastructure. The landlord declined to
comment on rents in the building, but did note that the firm will be offering “significant” tenant
improvement allowances for new leases.
