CancerCare, Inc. and Massimo Bonini Relocating to Resnick’s Plaza District Tower; Zuckerman Spaeder Extends Lease and Relocates to 19th Floor
Jack Resnick & Sons today announced three lease agreements totaling more than 33,000 square feet at 485 Madison Avenue, its prestigious Midtown Manhattan tower.
CancerCare has signed a 16-year lease to occupy the entire 14,101-square-foot 10th floor of the 25-story tower. Founded in 1994, CancerCare is a leading national organization providing free professional support services and information to help people manage the emotional, practical and financial challenges of cancer diagnoses. CancerCare will relocate from its current offices at 275 Seventh Avenue in the second quarter of 2025.
In a second relocation, Massimo Bonini has signed a lease for 9,128 square feet across the 24th floor as well as the 25th floor penthouse, which includes access to private outdoor terraces. The fashion accessory developer and wholesaler will relocate from 720 Fifth Avenue in the first quarter of 2025.
Resnick also completed an eight-year lease extension with Zuckerman Spaeder LLP , which has been a tenant at 485 Madison since 2017. Zuckerman Spaeder now occupies 10,320 square feet across the entire 19th floor of the tower. Jack Resnick & Sons provided Zuckerman Spaeder with a modern, turn-key fit-out of its new offices, which allowed Zuckerman Spaeder to make far more efficient use of its space. Resnick was quickly able to re-lease the firm’s former 10th floor space to CancerCare.
“We are thrilled to welcome CancerCare and Massimo Bonini to 485 Madison Avenue, which remains a top draw for innovative organizations seeking the highest quality work environments and customer service in the Plaza District,” said Jonathan Resnick, President of Jack Resnick & Sons. “We are also proud of our extended partnership with Zuckerman Spaeder, which is providing their attorneys with a fully-modernized and efficient work environment, while providing us the space necessary for us to accommodate CancerCare’s relocation.”
Shawn P. Naunton, New York office managing partner at Zuckerman Spaeder, said, “We are enthusiastic about continuing our partnership with Jack Resnick & Sons. We have welcomed many new attorneys to our New York office in recent years, and we look forward to this next chapter in our enhanced space that will allow us to foster greater collaboration among our talented team.”
Jack Resnick & Sons was represented in-house in all transactions by Executive Managing Director Brett Greenberg and Managing Director Adam Rappaport. David Berke and Brian Waterman of Newmark represented CancerCare. Esther Zar represented Massimo Bonini. Joseph Gervino of Avison Young represented Zuckerman Spaeder.
