Instant assisted the global leader in travel experiences in securing a managed workspace in Hudson Square Properties’ 75 Varick Street, a Class A building in NYC.
The Instant Group, the largest global marketplace for flexible workspaces, is pleased to announce that it assisted GetYourGuide, a global leader in travel experiences, in opening the international brand’s new NYC office. The space is a managed workspace in Hudson Square Properties’ 75 Varick Street, a Class A building in Hudson Square.
A tech unicorn, GetYourGuide opened the new 30-desk, 6,000+ square-foot Managed Office space earlier this month. The ninth floor office space is complete with double-height windows and ceilings, and concrete floors. Consistent to GetYourGuide’s other global offices, decor, and meeting rooms are inspired by the destinations and attractions the company showcases on its experience platform. Fitting for the company’s latest North American office, the main conference room is called Central Park and features a mural of New York City landmarks. Other rooms include Area 51 and Yellowstone and surround a cafe area for team and guests to socialize.
Renovated in 2020, 75 Varick Street features a new lobby, coffee shop, and rooftop lounge and terrace with sweeping views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, which is ideal for entertaining clients and hosting company events.
The Instant Group’s Managed Office solution affords companies a unique way to procure and deliver space – on time and on budget – incorporating tenant’s brand and office specifications while Instant assumes both the lease and management of the space. Globally, The Instant Group manages over four million square feet of Managed Office space for large multinational companies including GSK, Jaguar Land Rover and Pru Life UK.
Michael Calistri, Director, The Instant Group, represented GetYourGuide, while Jon Franzel, Managing Director, Newmark, represented Hudson Square Properties.
“We wanted a new office space that reflects our brand ambitions and acts as a welcome home to host international executives, clients, investors, and, of course, our growing team. It’s very important to us that our offices go beyond just a physical space and provide an avenue for meaningful connection and community,” said Stephanie Brisson, Head of Workplace at GetYourGuide. “We have worked with The Instant Group on transactions around the world, and thought this was the right time to utilize their Managed Office product, leveraging their in-market expertise, as well as their ability to build us a creative, branded office without sacrificing on service or building quality.”
“While this is our first Managed Office for GetYourGuide, we have supported them on their North American growth with transactions in New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City, as well as globally in Amsterdam and Sydney,” said Michael Calistri, Director, The Instant Group. “We were pleased to provide site selection, leasing, and selection of vendors, such as a project manager, contractor, and designer, to deliver a custom solution for their NYC office.”
