Park Avenue landlords are tooting their horns after we reported last week that Sixth Avenue regained a narrow edge over Park in terms of the least percentage of available space.
The Stahl Organizations 277 Park Ave. between East 47th and 48th streets boasts of nailing down an unreported 175,000 square feet of new and expansion leases in the past six months — bringing the 1.85 million square-foot tower to 98% leased.
The largest transactions were a 50,000 square-foot new lease for Sumitomo Corporation of the Americas; a 50,000 square-foot expansion by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation on top of its existing 266,000 square feet; and 47,000 square feet for Arsenal Capital Management.
Other, smaller new leases were signed by ERM Engineering & Consulting, Ontario Teachers Pension Plan and an unidentified international bank.
Cushman & Wakefields Mark P. Boisi, Bryan Boisi and Stephen Bellwood represented Stahl in all the transactions. They reflect Park Avenues sustained surge in a wildly uneven office market.
While both Park and Sixth avenues new and mid-20th Century towers have relatively low availability of around 11%, Manhattans overall rate is 20% — and its as high as 30% in parts of town including the Wall Street area.
Stahls success at 277 Park has much to do with the $120 million it spent to reposition the 1964-vintage property that was originally home to Chemical Bank.
Major upgrades include a new Park Avenue lobby with a 30-foot ceiling, a redesigned Lexington side lobby, a tenants fitness center on the ground floor and restaurants from popular chef David Burke. Its the whole magilla that tenants expect, Boisi said.
Asking rents at 277 Park range between $100 and $120 per square foot. JP Morgan Chase is the largest current tenant.
As US conservatives rapidly shape the crypto landscape through policy, funding and grassroots adoption, progressives remain divided and hesitant. Progressives lack a unified strategy and risk losing relevance.

Hyundai is gearing up to go on a “full-scale attack” as it ramps up exports of its new flagship three-row EV. The IONIQ 9 is now rolling out in the US, South Korea, and Europe.
Hyundai IONIQ 9 three-row EV production picks up
After launching the IONIQ 9 in South Korea earlier this year, Hyundai had high hopes. However, the flagship electric SUV has struggled to gain traction in the automaker’s home market.
Hyundai is betting on overseas markets, including the US and Europe, to drive sales. In Korea, it has been steadily ramping up IONIQ 9 with plans to go on a “full-scale attack on Europe.”
An industry insider explained (via NewsIs) that “As Hyundai Motor Company speeds up its entry into overseas markets with the Ioniq 9, export volume will increase rapidly.”

Since it shipped the first models in April, IONIQ 9 exports have tripled. In June, Hyundai exported 1,781, up from 1,482 in May and 539 in April. The higher exports are in preparation for sales kicking off in Europe. Hyundai revealed last week that the IONIQ 9 will start at £64,995 ($87,500).
Powered by a 110 kWh battery, the three-row EV features a WLTP driving range of up to 385 miles. On the EPA scale, it’s rated with up to 335 miles of driving range.

Europe is not the only market that Hyundai is taking aim at. The automaker is using a two-track strategy. In the US, Hyundai builds the IONIQ 9 at its new EV plant in Georgia, alongside the updated 2025 IONIQ 5.
Production has been steady at Hyundai’s Metaplant America (HMGMA) plant since it began in April. Hyundai built 2,382 IONIQ 9 models in May and another 1,803 in June. Through June 2025, 1,013 Hyundai IONIQ 9 models have been sold in the US.

With IONIQ 9 sales falling from 1,009 in April to 867 in May and then to 767 in June, Hyundai is betting on the US and Europe to make up for the shortfall.
After promising to maintain prices in the US earlier this year, Hyundai has stood by the guarantee. The 2026 IONIQ 9 (see our review of it) is surprisingly affordable with leases starting at just $419 per month.
Hyundai’s new and improved 2025 IONIQ 5 may take the cake as the best EV deal right now, listed with leases as low as $179 per month. To get owners started, it also offers a free ChargePoint L2 home charger with the purchase or lease of any new 2026 IONIQ 9 or 2025 IONIQ 5.
