RFR has signed an 18,038-square-foot, full-floor U.S. headquarters lease with SPORTFIVE at 477 Madison Ave., a 24-story boutique office tower in Midtown Manhattan. The tenant, a Hamburg, Germany-based global sports marketing firm established in 2001 and owned by private equity firm H.I.G. Capital since 2021, will occupy a full-floor prebuilt space that had served as a model suite and helped drive more than 130,000 square feet of leasing over the past 12 months.
“RFR’s investment in 477 Madison, including a high-end pre-built program, has elevated the building with a curated package of timeless design and refined functionality and is representative of the exceptional quality that prominent firms demand,” said AJ Camhi, EVP and director of leasing of RFR.
An in-house team of Camhi, Paul Milunec and Rob Weller alongside a CBRE team of Arkady Smolyansky and Alex D’Amario represented RFR. SPORTFIVE was represented by Peter Van Duyne and Alex Lachmund of Cushman & Wakefield.
