Grand Central Facts

Grand Central

The Grand Central neighborhood of Manhattan runs from 36^th Street to 47^th Street between Fifth Avenue and the East River, with the focal point being Grand Central Station at 42^nd Street.  This is one of the most active commercial real estate leasing districts in NY, and it encompasses approximately 55,000,000 rentable square feet of Class A and B office space in the east Midtown area.

There is no better diverse collection of different businesses and practices anywhere, which makes the Grand Central neighborhood a prime location for shared professional office space in all industries.  Shared legal office space, shared financial office space, shared tech office space and shared medical office space abound in this area – it is also a very healthy coworking area.

An unbelievable selection of restaurants and unusual dining venues like food trucks and food courts abound, taking into account a busy hour for all 3 meals of the day.  It is home to corporate headquarters and is famous for its Park Avenue corridor as the corporate home to a diverse group of national and international corporations, as Grand Central Terminal is one of the busiest transportation hubs in Manhattan.  There is also a diverse selection of embassy locations, diplomatic missions,  and personnel due the the United Nations headquarters here.
