CBRE Arranges Office Lease for AirOps at Meadow Partners’ 218 West 18th Street in Chelsea

CBRE is pleased to announce that AirOps, the first end-to-end content engineering platform that helps brands create and scale quality content that wins AI search, has signed a 13,504 sq. ft office lease at 218 West 18th Street, owned by Meadow Partners, an institutional middle-market real estate private equity firm. The AI company will occupy the entire eighth floor of the office property located in the heart of the Chelsea submarket of Manhattan.

The CBRE team of Paul Amrich, Neil King, Evan Fiddle and Patrick Moroney is leading the leasing and marketing efforts for the property and represented Meadow Partners in the lease negotiations. The asking rent was $82 per sq. ft.

“The newly pre-built office space met all of AirOps’ requirements as it continues to expand its platform and operations,” said Amrich. “Meadow Partners worked diligently to create a fully furnished floor for the tenant as part of the deal to make it as seamless as possible for the move-in.”

“This lease reflects our long-standing approach to ownership: we don’t simply lease space, we partner with our tenants to create environments that help their businesses thrive,” said Marc Mechanic, a Partner at Meadow Partners. “New York City remains central to our investment thesis, and we are proud to continue attracting premier companies like AirOps to our buildings.”

Located in the heart of Chelsea, the building features a newly renovated lobby and elevators, as well as new HVAC units and upgraded electrical systems. Meadow Partners is currently working on a full pre-built on the seventh floor totaling 13,504 sq. ft., scheduled for delivery later this year. In addition, other fully furnished pre-built floors are available in the building for immediate occupancy across floors 2, 3 and 6.

Douglas Regal and Hayley Kaplan of JLL represented AirOps in the lease negotiations.
