A 1904 loft between Lexington and Third, on the plaza block that Baruch College calls home. Eighty-five thousand square feet, eleven stories, full floors of 8,308 RSF with windows on four sides and about eleven feet from floor to slab.
Ownership rebuilt the lobby, staffed it, put tap-to-enter access on the entrance and the elevators, and delivers floors with wide plank engineered wood and the structure exposed. You take the whole plate, the elevator opens directly into it, and the floor locks off. Nobody shares your floor.







One tenant to a floor and the whole plate to yourself. Every floor locks off, and the elevator opens directly into your space.
Wood slats, stone walls, brass pendants and an attended desk. Ownership rebuilt the lobby from the ground up and it reads as more than a finish upgrade: it is the standard the rest of the building is being brought to.
Your candidates, your clients and your investors decide what they think of you somewhere between the sidewalk and the elevator. The lobby was built for that walk, and from here the ride is private: tap in and the elevator opens into your floor.

03 · DeskAccess at 137 East 25th is a pass in your digital wallet. Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, phone or watch: tap at the door, tap in the elevator, and the elevator opens directly into your floor and nobody else’s. Every floor locks off.
Doors and the elevator can be unlocked remotely for a guest or a delivery, so nobody waits in the lobby for a badge. Physical cards are there for anyone who wants one.
Republic owns it. Nomad builds it and runs it. One team scopes, prices and delivers your floor with the landlord at the table, so there are fewer people between a drawing and a finished office.
Whitebox means whitebox. Base building done, nothing to demolish, a blank plate you draw around your headcount and how your team actually works.
The seventh floor, recently completed, is the standard built: painted brick and exposed ceilings, wide plank wood floors, linear pendants, glass fronted rooms, phone booths and a full pantry.
