NEW YORK CITY — Colliers International has arranged a 30-year, 218,000-square-foot lease on behalf of United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) for the entire building at 80 W. End Ave. in New York City. The nonprofit, which provides services, technology, and advocacy to children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, recently sold its existing building at 122 E. 23rd St. in Gramercy Park. The organization is scheduled to move into its new facility at the corner of West 63rd Street in the fourth quarter of 2014. UCP will occupy the first, fourth, sixth and seventh floors at the property, which will include a rooftop playground. The organization plans to sublease the additional space in the building to other nonprofits. Jointly owned by the Kushner Cos. and Extell Corp., the 1920s-era building will be renovated to include wide corridors for the large number of people in wheelchairs. UCP has retained HOK as project architect. Michael Berger and Robert Getreu of Colliers International arranged the lease on behalf of UCP. Jared Kushner and Ira Bloom of Kushner Cos. represented the building’s owners, Kushner Cos. and Extell Corp., in the transaction.
