Fisher Brothers announced the completion of a 30,000 s/f , long term lease with BBR Partners, LLC.
The wealth management firm will occupy the entire 18th floor of Park Avenue Plaza, located at 55 East 52nd Street in Midtown East.
BBR Partners continues to prioritize modern, functional space to support the recruitment and retention of talented professionals.
Fisher Brothers, a fourth-generation real estate company that owns and manages more than 5.5 million square feet in Midtown Manhattan, worked closely with BBR Partners to ensure that their office space needs were met as the firm navigated the pandemic.

“We’re proud to be able to work with high caliber tenants, such as BBR, by providing knowledgeable, Class A services. Experience and innovation in the workplace have never been more important than now, as the City returns to the workplace.”
