ARA represented the tenant, The Phantom of the Opera and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in securing a long-term lease for the former Ace Art Supply building now owned by Brookfield, a 40,000 square foot neo baroque property located at 218 West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan. The transaction involved the repositioning of a high-profile asset along the 57th Street corridor into a flagship theatrical and production facility, accommodating one of the most globally recognized cultural brands. The scale and configuration of the space required a tailored leasing strategy to align operational, production, and location-specific requirements within a dense, prime retail and commercial corridor.
