It seems that the floor plates at 10 W 57th will be small enough that this tower should be built on spec and needn’t await an anchor.
P.S.: It’s funny that the article you posted blindly repeats Lois’ error in (from the Post article last week) which incorrectly refers to 570 Fifth as “570 Park.”

New York’s office market has a new high-water mark — the latest sign of the growing divide between struggling, outdated buildings and Manhattan’s high-demand towers.
Stefan Soloviev’s Soloviev Group signed a lease at 9 West 57th Street at $327.50 per square foot. That surpasses the previous record of $320 per foot, establishing a new high bar as these high triple-figure deals become more common.
“The price speaks for itself,” Soloviev said.
The tenant is a private international family office, Soloviev said. The 10-year deal covers 5,063 square feet on the northwest corner of 9 West’s 50th floor, which offers the best views of Central Park.

Nine West’s Reinvention Defines the New Trophy Office Playbook

Nine West 57th Street, one of Manhattan’s most iconic office towers, has staged a remarkable comeback after decades of market cycles and recent pandemic-era uncertainty. Once hit hard by the departure of major tenants like KKR and broader declines in office demand, the building is now nearly fully leased again and competing with newer developments such as One Vanderbilt and Hudson Yards. Its resurgence reflects broader changes in what defines a top-tier office property in today’s market.
A major driver of this turnaround has been a strategic reinvestment in amenities and tenant experience. Owner Stefan Soloviev has spent more than $50 million upgrading the property, adding features like a high-end gym, curated art gallery, and destination dining. These enhancements align with a post-pandemic shift where amenities are no longer optional but essential for attracting tenants. At the same time, leasing activity has shifted toward smaller deals, with a broader mix of tenants filling space once dominated by large financial firms.

How much square feet do they have for an office building? If it’s only 600k, they should build on spec. They’re probably seeking a partner like SLG or BP.
I heard that there’s heavy machinery on Sedesco’s site across the street. I’m very curious to see if Soloviev sells the beautiful little building to Sedesco and if Sedesco’s site is combined with Vornado’s.
