Health Care Firm Lorient Expands to New York City, Secures Midtown Lease
What happened
Lorient, a health care investment firm based in Miami, signed a 5,556-square-foot lease at 825 Third Avenue in Midtown East, New York City, from the Durst Organization. The firm is expanding its operations into New York City.
Why it matters
Lorient's expansion into the high-cost New York City market is notable, as the asking rent of $100 per square foot exceeds the average asking rent for Class A office space in Midtown during the third quarter of 2026, which was $85.08 per square foot.
Lucas was appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Durst Organization, a firm focused on the New York City commercial real estate market.
