Owned by ZG Capital Partners, a New York-based real estate investment firm led by Bobby Zar, the 42-story Class A Bryant Park property has been repositioned as a vertical campus for boutique creative, tech and financial tenants seeking a transit-centric location in a building flush with amenities.

The 430,000-square-foot building that overlooks Times Square underwent an extensive renovation in 2012 that included a contemporary new lobby and upgraded building mechanicals. Ownership added a second-floor amenity space featuring conference, meeting and lounge spaces in 2025 and recently unveiled plans for further upgrades and prebuilt spaces on the first floor as leasing momentum continues.

A second amenity lounge and conference facility will be added to the first floor to meet increased demand from the expanded roster of tenants, and ownership will launch a new round of prebuilt suites ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet on the first floor. Additional full-floor prebuilt opportunities are also available on the 3rd floor (17,296 RSF), 14th floor (15,674 RSF), and 25th floor (7,735 RSF). Asking rents range from $60-$85 per RSF.

“Ownership has taken a highly thoughtful, tenant-first approach at 1450 Broadway, continuously evolving the building based on direct feedback from occupiers,” said Mitchell Konsker, Vice Chairman at JLL, who leads an agency team that represents ownership and includes Executive Managing Director Greg Wang and Senior Vice Presidents Thomas Swartz and Lance Yasinsky.

“By delivering high-quality prebuilt spaces and expanding amenity offerings that align with how today’s boutique companies operate, they are creating an environment that resonates in the market and that is clearly translating into strong leasing velocity,” Konsker added.

The tower’s location near Times Square in the heart of Midtown Manhattan offers proximity to major transit hubs, restaurants, retail, and entertainment, assets that have brought vacancy in the submarket to near record lows. According to JLL research, Midtown vacancy reached 9.5% in Q4 2025 in a market driven by small format leasing by agile occupiers in technology, media, and professional services prioritizing flexibility and efficient footprints.
