Published: December 01, 2009 12:00 AM
Zero Point Zero Production Inc. is ditching SoHo for the Penn Station area.
The Emmy-winning television and film production company has signed a 10-year lease for 9,600 square feet at 875 Sixth Ave., at West 31st Street. The asking rent for the space was $33 per square foot.
“It’s a big space, and the landlord was accommodating with the build-out,” said Glenn Teyf of ORB Real Estate Professionals, who represented the tenant along with colleague Yossi Feigenson.
The company, whose clients include popular chef Anthony Bourdain and his Travel Channel show No Reservations, is slated to move into the full 19th-floor space in February. Zero Point Zero Production now occupies approximately 3,000 square feet at 100 Sixth Ave., near Watts Street.
“The tenant is a good, growing company, and it is a nice deal for the landlord,” said Peter Braus of Sierra Realty Corp., who represented landlord 875 LLC.
The 26-story building is now 95% occupied.

Details:

• Tenant Name: Zero Point Zero Production Inc.
  
• Street Address: 875 Sixth Ave.
  
• Square Feet: 9,600
  
• Asking Rent: $33 Per Sq Ft.
  
• Lease Length: 10 years

• Submarket: Penn Plaza/Garment Distric
  
• Borough: Manhattan
  
• Brokerage Firm: Sierra Realty Corp.

Featured TNNW Authors -- Yossi Feigenson and Kensel Tracy

SUBJECT: SELLING WITH INTEGRITY



Author Kensel Tracy recently wrote an article in The National Networker (http://www.thenationalnetworker.com/)  which hit me. Being an honorable fellow, and an ardent networker, he wanted to purchase something to fill a need. The salesperson involved in this situation observed Kensel’s eagerness, and took advantage of him – in fact, this salesperson lied to Kensel. In making a sale, this short-sighted salesperson lost the chance to have a long-term client and a source of referrals. Perhaps worse, he lost a possible friend.


On a broader scale, each time this happens, every salesperson pays a price. Disillusionment makes consumers skeptical, and more resistant.


Please read Kensel’s article at http://twitlik.com/TracyTNNW  , and weigh in with your thoughts and feelings, especially if you’ve been on the consumer side of a manipulative salesperson. How has the prevalence of deceitfulness in business made your job more difficult? What tools and techniques do you employ in order to increase your credibility? Your sharing is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback. Integrity is becoming an increasingly important issue in the economically-challenged marketplace with which we are all confronted.

SUBJECT: THE MAGNETISM OF REAL RELATIONSHIPS


Author Yossi Feigenson recently wrote an article in The National Networker (http://www.thenationalnetworker.com/)
 which brought me back to the past. Some of the most valuable off-the-balance-sheet assets which any businessperson or professional had included:

• Longevity


• Reliability


• Personal knowledge of what his/her customers/clients wanted (remember, “The usual, Mr.___”)


• Frequent customer or client contact


• A warmth or familiarity with the customer or client’s personal side, and personal life


• Casual conversational skills


• An investment of time in each customer or client


• Follow-through and ongoing servicing or feedback


• A feeling of responsibility for the customer’s or client’s satisfaction


Please read Yossi’s article at http://twitlik.com/Yossi , and provide your feedback. In this new era of broadcasting to the masses through social media, have we actually become less magnetic? Are we forgetting our need for the magnetism of interpersonal bonding? Are we getting louder but saying less of personal importance to our audience? Are we become too focused on quantity instead of quality? How many times have you heard someone say, “This business is a numbers game?” What is happening to the notion of having your own personal, trusted guru (whether it is a barber or a lawyer) to whom you automatically gravitate when you need something done “just right” and with YOU in mind?

Thank you for your feedback. High-quality personal relationships are disappearing and being replaced with impersonality and anonymity. We are rapidly turning our prospective customers and clients into “targets” instead of “friends”. Your input is encouraged.

IT'S A BUYER'S MARKET - SHOULDN'T I BUY?

Note: Neither THE NATIONAL NETWORKER ("TNNW") nor any of its members, directors, officers, employees or authors offers investment, accounting, tax or legal advice. The article which follows reflects the opinion of its author, Yossi Feigenson, and should not be construed under any circumstances as an offering of advice of any sort.

___________________________________

It’s a buyer’s market - shouldn’t I buy?

As a so-called real estate professional, I get this question a lot. People want to know when is the exact time for them to be in the market for real estate. Let me say up front and get this out of the way: I have no idea. I don’t have a crystal ball, nor am I a licensed prognosticator. What I do know, however, is that market conditions alone cannot be the lone factor in making that determination.

It seems to be the prevailing thought out there right now that its not a good time to be in the market, whether for a home, or office use. For proof, simply take a look at the number of closed transactions. They are way down from the numbers of, say, six months ago. In this latest run-up, grub-fest, land-grab people were grabbing every piece of real estate in sight, (or in some cases, sight unseen) with apparent disregard for cost, value, terms of deal and their own needs. And now, we have all frozen up like an Alaskan glacier (if such a thing exists). And me, the little real estate broker, is left to ponder, what exactly is going on here?

Research for this essay landed at my doorstep this past weekend in the form of an article in the NYT Real Estate Section, titled: “Don’t Even Say the Word”. It goes on to say that as much as real estate was such a hot topic of discussion back in the day, it has now become a dirty word.

Where has all the love gone?

To answer this quandary, I look at what drives people’s decisions in real estate, and often in other aspects of life. Instead of focusing on what will satisfy a person’s needs, and what they can afford people tend to follow the “monkey see, monkey do approach.

Back in the day, when we were pitching an apartment building for sale, we often had to choke on it for a while. But, the moment, and I mean the moment, there was interest by one party, we couldn’t keep the vultures away. We often said when you’re close to a deal lock it up as fast as you can, because when one person wants something, everybody else does.

Our actions are too often guided by what the current conditions are feeding into our psyches. Instead of thinking about what we really need and can afford, we’re busy chasing the dream. When things are flying everyone is in the game and is willing to play no matter the cost. As we now see so clearly.

This particular form of playing on our emotions is what carried the market to the insane stratospheres it reached, and is precisely the reason we are in the stalemate we are in now.
Better judgment would lead to more efficient markets.

So, when is the right time to be in the market?

I believe this determination requires a two-step process: First, analyze from within, and then "play" the market accordingly. Be certain of what you need, what you can handle, and then, by all means, go into the market and negotiate the best possible arrangement.
