Time to puck it up. The National Hockey League is contemplating the future of its headquarters now located at 1185 Sixth Ave., where it also has its nearly 7,000-square-foot store at the corner of West 47th Street.

Sources say the league has all options open, including remaining, or eventually moving to spots in new buildings at the World Trade Center, Hudson Yards or Manhattan West — the latter two are close to Madison Square Garden — or even a future new Madison Square Garden, and of course, other Rockefeller Center buildings or even ye olde 4 Times Square.

League Commissioner Gary Bettman brought the sport into the tech era with its current awesome abode on five floors of 1185, where TPG Architecture used hockey-evoking materials such as brushed steel, icy glass and wintry colors along with details such as more than 400 hockey sticks in its newsroom area. The store also has a wall of ice.

The league is being represented by Michael Laginestra, Michael Geoghegan and Chris Corrinet of CBRE, which declined comment.


The world-renowned Ford Models is moving from 57 W. 57th St. down to 11 E. 26th St., which overlooks Madison Square Park.

Other tenants in that building include the headquarters for Avenues World School, Humanscale and the Museum of Mathematics.

“It’s eye candy for everyone,” said one source on the Ford crew.

Jared Freede of CBRE repped Ford Models, which is taking the 14th floor of 12,100 square feet and has many windows and long vistas. Freede and CBRE declined comment through a spokesman.

The building owner, East Twenty Sixth Associates, was represented by James Buslik of Adams & Co. It has current asking rents between $65 and $75 a square foot.

“We are getting great tenants; everyone wants the park in one of the most desirable areas of the city,” Buslik said of the Flatiron/NoMad neighborhood.


Meanwhile, the redevelopment of the Crown Building has claimed its first high-profile office tenants: Roth Capital and the Winter Organization.

The first, Roth Capital, will take advantage of the Ford drive down to the Flatiron District to rent its leftover space.

Roth, which occupies the tippy-top two floors at the Crown Building at 730 Fifth Ave., will now move to 10,000 square feet at nearby 57 W. 57th St.

This space includes part of the 16th floor and entire 18th floor, which will be vacated by the models next year.

This new 10-year deal had an asking rent of $75 a square foot.

Keith Caggiano of CBRE represented Roth, while Michael Joseph of Colliers International represented the 57 West building ownership.

The Winter Organization, one of the former owners of the Crown Building, is also being displaced by the redevelopment to a more retail, hotel and residential mode. The real estate company, led by Ben Winter, is moving to nearby 680 Fifth Ave.

Winter will occupy the entire 23rd floor of 6,355 square feet, which had an asking rent in the $90s per square foot.

The company was repped by Mary Ann Tighe, Mike Movshovich and Ben Friedland of CBRE while the building, owned by the Buchman family, was represented by Frank Doyle and Clark Finney of JLL. No comments all around.
