To piggy back of what hunser said, almost 90% of Manhattan's commercial real estate on a square foot basis predates 1970, so there's a lot of pent up demand for new space. Plus, this is about as prime a location as you can get. Park Avenue is probably a little bit more desirable, but this is just about as good a location as you could imagine. Should have no difficulty getting a tenant.
