“80 Eighth Ave. has long-attracted tech and creative firms looking for offices with an industrial look and feel, that want to be near other tech giants like Google and Facebook. It’s the perfect location for CSM to set up its first offices in the city,” said Mandell. “We are pleased to accommodate this fast-growing agency.”
Built in 1929 and standing 282 feet tall, 80 Eighth Ave. is most well-known as the Bankers Trust Company Building, which has occupied the building for over 70 years. This 20-story building, designed by the esteemed architect, William Whitehall, in a neo-gothic style, offers 185,000 square feet of commercial space and a newly renovated lobby that showcases its authentic architectural elements and modernizes its appeal to today’s tenants.
