Niobrara Capital, a private equity firm focused on tech companies across the U.S. and Europe, has signed an 11,000-square-foot lease on the entire ninth floor of Marx Realty’s545 Madison Avenue, also known as the Baccarat Building.
The length of the lease was not disclosed. The asking rent was $145 per square foot, according to Marx Realty.
It’s unclear whether the deal represents a new location or a relocation for Niobrara, which lists an office about four blocks away at 345 Park Avenue on its website.
Newmark’s CJ Heitner and John Cilmi represented Niobrara Capital in the lease, while Cushman & Wakefield’s Tara Stacom, Peter Trivelas, Harry Blair andRemy Liebersohn represented the owner.
C&W declined to comment, while Newmark did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“The continued leasing momentum at 545 Madison speaks to the power of pairing this exceptional Plaza District address with a truly differentiated hospitality-infused experience,” Craig Deitelzweig, president and CEO of Marx Realty, said in a statement. “The building’s warm, club-like sensibility, refined design and unmistakable Baccarat touches continue to resonate with premier firms looking for a workplace that feels elevated, elegant and distinctive.”
The deal represents Marx Realty’s first lease signed after partnering with luxury crystal manufacturer Baccarat, which unveiled its collaboration at 545 Madison in 2025. There are Baccarat enhancements throughout the 17-story, 140,000-square-foot building.
Several other private equity firms call 545 Madison home, including Kohlberg and Vialto Group.
Marx Realty launches speakeasy at 10 Grand Central – 6,000 s/f
April 13, 2026
Manhattan, NY Marx Realty (MNPP) has entered a partnership with the downtown speakeasy Please Don’t Tell (PDT), to introduce Highball Ltd. at its 10 Grand Central office tower in Midtown. The new bar – grounded in the glamour of the era of Jazz Age New York and Art Deco skyscrapers – will further elevate the building’s hospitality-infused repositioning while introducing a food and beverage destination to Midtown. Highball Ltd. is the newest project from Jeff Bell, managing partner of the East Village speakeasy PDT, and his partners, Apres Cru Hospitality.
“Highball Ltd. represents the next chapter in our mission to provide an exceptional experience that blurs the lines between workplace and luxury hotel,” said Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty. “By partnering with Jeff Bell and ApresCru, we are creating an authentic, design-forward speakeasy experience that pays homage to the architectural history of the building and its location near Grand Central Terminal. We are not only setting new benchmarks in workplace design, but transforming 10 Grand Central into a true social destination – and our tenants are already enamored with the concept.”
Highball Ltd. will be within The Meeting Galleries space, an amenity suite featuring four spaces: Highball Ltd. (formerly known as The Bar Car), a pre-function space appointed with Baccarat barware, artwork and a floor-to-ceiling bronze fireplace; The Grand Gallery, a 200-person town hall space; The Podcast Gallery, a recording studio equipped with technology; and, The Screening Gallery, a theater with stadium seating and a 150-inch screen beneath a constellation-inspired ceiling reminiscent of Grand Central’s celestial dome.
“The proximity to Grand Central is an exciting entry to Midtown for us,” said Jeff Bell, managing partner of PDT. “The beautiful space reminds me of a luxury pullman car and provided a lot of inspiration for the menu. There is such a rich history to draw from with the overlap in the golden age of cocktails and the golden age of train travel.”
After finding the hidden entrance on Third Ave. (look for the red light), layered wayfinding, and the freight elevator, guests are transported to a cocktail oasis on the 11th floor. Highball Ltd. fuses the timeless glamour of the building’s 1930s-era Beaux Arts design with distinct design nods to the golden age of luxury train travel. Highball Ltd. will tap the demand for a simple, yet upscale, cocktail experience in a part of Midtown long defined by office towers and now increasingly energized by new food and beverage openings.
Beginning with a repositioning at 10 Grand Central that added a sophisticated lounge and terrace amenity in 2018 – marking the early expression of Marx Realty’s now widely recognized hospitality-infused workplace strategy – the firm recently added an 11,000 s/f space known as The Meeting Galleries. Located on the 11th floor at 10 Grand Central, Highball Ltd. is now part of that space and celebrates craft cocktails and elevated food. While some seats will be held for walk-ins nightly, reservations are encouraged.
The name, Highball Ltd., has a double meaning: a nod to the classic whiskey cocktail and the historic “highball” railroad signal, by which a ball raised to the top of a pole indicated that the track ahead was clear, allowing the train to proceed at full speed. The concept complements the luxury train-inspired design of the space and will appeal to a diverse audience while addressing the rising demand for social experiences combining a food menu with crafted cocktails. The beverage menu includes Dom Perignon Champagne alongside vintage spirits, Japanese whiskey and a mix of house highballs, signature cocktails and classics like a martini and negroni.
The partnership with Marx Realty brings the PDT team to Midtown for the first time in a reimagined experience tailored to appeal to the diverse mix of Midtown professionals, residents and visitors. PDT pioneered the modern speakeasy movement in 2007 when it opened its original location hidden behind a telephone booth inside Crif Dogs in the East Village. Bell and PDT have been behind numerous bar and hotel experiences including the Waldorf Astoria in New York, the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, and the new jetBlue lounge at JFK. Bell has also developed a line of cocktail mixers, currently served in jetBlue’s Mint Class. In July 2025 he opened Mixteca, an agave-focused bar in the West Village, and six months later Kees, a sophisticated cocktail lounge that channels the glamour of mid-century New York, located downstairs from Mixteca.
“High quality cocktail ingredients are now mainstream,” said Bell. “Guests are focused on better spirits and mixers even for simple cocktails like a Gin + Tonic. With our version, we stay true to the formula but add a layer of complexity with kabosu and shiso. It’s still a refreshing and sessionable drink.”
Velvet seating, brushed brass accents and softly arched architectural details evoke 1930s luxury railcars throughout the space, while mood lighting, bespoke millwork and a signature scent deliver Marx Realty’s well-known hospitality-infused ambiance. The result is a swanky and refined members-only atmosphere that feels both clandestine and glamorous, an unexpected counterpoint to Midtown’s corporate core.
When Every Bar Is a ‘Speakeasy,’ What Actually Is a Speakeasy?
April 14, 2026
Long after Prohibition, a few high-end cocktail bars show it’s still possible to retain their speakeasy forebears’ air of mystery and adventure.

Just off a busy sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan, a red carpet leads to a freight elevator. You might not even notice it unless you first saw the red light shining on the sidewalk above a pair of nondescript black doors. Nearby, a discreet, retro-inflected brass plaque reads Highball Ltd. Step in and ride to the 11th floor and the confusion clears.
The brand new, 65-person cocktail bar is the brainchild of celebrated bartender Jeff Bell, known for his work at the pioneering Please Don’t Tell, or PDT, in New York’s East Village. When Bell was given the task of turning the tiny, nondescript room in Midtown into a buzzy destination, he immediately thought “speakeasy.”
To enter Highball Ltd., guests ride a freight elevator up to the 11th floor.

“People love when they’ve discovered a place, when it’s a journey to get to it,” he said. But a century after the term first emerged to describe the clandestine drinking dens of Prohibition, its meaning has blurred. When passwords are posted to Instagram and tables booked on an app, what is a speakeasy—and can it be anything more than a gimmick? A few places around the world offer some clues.
To be in-the-know
In the 1920s, at the height of Prohibition, speakeasies were far from elitist, according to Charlotte Voisey, who runs the New Orleans-based hospitality nonprofit Tales of the Cocktail. “They didn’t care who was there as long as they could keep selling liquor and having a good time.”
The 1990s cocktail revival introduced a layer of snobbery to speakeasy-style bars, long after any subterfuge was necessary. New spots were intended to cater to in-the-know drinkers of a different kind. “It was about dedication to cocktail culture, not just speakeasy mechanisms,” Voisey said. In other words, picky bartenders wanted to ensure their clientele consisted of drinkers primed to appreciate their efforts.
The epitome of this approach was New York’s Milk & Honey, which the late Sasha Petraske opened on the eve of the millennium in 1999 behind a facade that resembled a tailor’s shop (another, similarly craft-focused operation, Attaboy, still occupies the site). Long before likes and shares, there wasn’t a door policy exactly, but you could be subject to an unspoken, discreet screening at the host table.

Reservations only—and a not-so-grand entrance
The arrival of social media forced operators to reimagine the word-of-mouth approach. Today, the places that call themselves speakeasies are about intentionality. Instead of texting the bartender, as you might have done 20 years ago, you’re expected to plan ahead enough to book a two-top on Resy.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a little mystery. Famously, PDT is accessed via a phone booth which sits in the brightly lit Crif Dogs fast food joint next door.
Bell said the decision to create an alternative entrance was driven more by practicalities than theatricalities. By being attached to Crif Dogs, PDT could piggyback on the restaurant’s liquor license. But ask anyone who has been and they’re likely to lead with the thrill of picking up the receiver in the booth to enter.
This theatricality has become another earmark of the speakeasy genre. Raised by Wolves in San Diego sits behind a liquor store, accessible via a rotating seating area. The award-winning Florería Atlántico in Buenos Aires—which expanded to Washington, D.C. last fall—sits beneath a working florist, accessed via a staircase concealed by a fridge.
“It’s giving you permission to escape your day, because you’re walking through a literal or physical portal,” said David Kaplan, co-owner of New York’s Death & Co, where bowtie-clad bartenders serve elaborate cocktails behind a barely marked door.
YONKERS — New stores, electronics retailer and restaurants have expressed interest in leasing space in the new retail area planned for Cross County Center.
The $90 million expansion, slated for the center’s north lot, includes two new buildings totaling 58,000 square feet of retail space, along with a four-acre park, boardwalk and underground parking garage.
Prospective tenants, from an international fashion brand to an electronics retailer and restaurants, have already shown interest in the space even though construction is not expected to be completed for another 18 months, project officials said.
Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty that owns the center, said the vision is to create a new front door to the center, with new stores, green space and sitting areas leading to a boardwalk lined with dining places.
“We want this to be the town center,” Deitelzweig said. “Our goal is to have people who want to come to the center starting in the morning and staying all the way through the evening.”
Cross County Center expansion to create community space, drive foot traffic
Opened in 1954, the center has grown from 30 stores to more than 100 tenants spanning retail, dining, education, entertainment and hospitality. Branded as the nation’s first open-air shopping mall, Cross County Center attracts about 14 million visitors annually and is now 97% leased.
The center is home to a mix of about 83 tenants ranging from national brands to local businesses. It is anchored by Target and Macy’s, along with SUNY Westchester Yonkers and a Hyatt Place hotel. New stores have consistently been added over the years.
The expansion reflects strong demand for retail space. About 88% of the 58,000 square feet of retail space has already been accounted for, with plans being finalized for a “world-class retailer” interested in occupying an entire two-story, 44,000-square-foot-building, Deitelzweig said.
The goal is to host a diverse tenant mix to attract a broad range of customers. Most visitors come from Westchester County and New York City, with a large share made up of young adults ages 16 to 23 and families.
The center also hosts year-round events, including holiday celebrations, summer festivals, yoga and Zumba classes. The new park will create space for new events such as concerts, picnics, farmers markets and soccer games or expanding existing programs.
“I always wanted to add a new park here,” Deitelzweig said. “It’s another way for us to connect with the community. We’ll make sure this space is really activated.”
The expansion will replace a portion of the north parking lot. An underground parking garage with elevator access will be built beneath the site. Construction will be carried out in phases, with the goal of minimizing disruption to operations while maintaining access to nearby businesses.
Why does demand remain strong at Cross County Center?
While e-commerce and the pandemic have taken a toll on some Westchester malls, shuttering the former Galleria at White Plains and the former White Plains Mall, other retail centers have rebounded. Cross County Center, for example, is thriving with nearly full occupancy and strong demand for additional space.
In 2024, Westchester’s mall vacancy rate dropped to 1%, far below the national average of 8.7%, according to CoStar.
Deitelzweig said sales revenues have continued to grow, attributing Cross County Center’s success to ongoing efforts to meet evolving customer needs. Those efforts include attracting and retaining trending, high-performing tenants and reinvesting in capital improvements, including upgrades to sidewalks, landscaping, lighting and storefronts.
The center is home to the first Zara, Shake Shack and Raising Cane’s locations in Westchester, as well as one of the best-performing Target and Macy’s stores in the country, Deitelzweig said. Four additional stores are slated to open, including Coach, Crocs, Crumble Cookies and Elite Nails & Spa.
He added that the center has also benefited from younger generations’ growing preference for in-person experiences and post-pandemic hybrid work schedules.
“The way we’ve succeeded for 70 years is by understanding your customers,” Deitelzweig said. “Sometimes it’s about understanding them before they even understand what they want.”
Selective on tenants as customer preferences evolve
Businesses are drawn to Cross County Center by the high foot traffic that is largely generated through events and the spillover effect of neighboring brands, although securing a spot is competitive.
Deitelzweig said the center is selective about its tenants and continues to adapt based on store performance and a commitment to maintaining well-kept storefronts. The shift toward experiential retail has prompted tenants to lease larger spaces, with more businesses focusing on experiences.
Build-A-Bear, a toy store that opened in September, offers customers the chance to design their own stuffed animals. At the center of the store, a large wheel of plush white stuffing slowly rotates as customers bring their toys to life by choosing a shell, outfit and accessories, adding a heartbeat and even recording a personalized sound bite.
Porsha Soto, the store’s manager, said the Cross County location is the company’s sixth in New York and was drawn to the center’s strong base of family-oriented customers. She hopes the expansion will bring more foot traffic and provide a better experience.
“It’s really exciting to have this space that feels welcoming and warm,” Soto said, referring to the park.
What could come next at Cross County Center?
As the center continues to grow, both the property owner and customers see potential for future developments.
Ive Lisse, of Yonkers, who visits the center about twice a month and attends some of its events, said she enjoys stores such as Old Navy, Zara, H&M, Foot Locker and Shake & Shack and hopes to see more children’s entertainment options like Sky Zone.
That sentiment echoed Deitelzweig’s vision to add businesses that offer immersive, family-friendly experiences. He said he is also open to residential development where there is a need, provided it fits into the fabric of the center.
“Customers’ desires change constantly,” Deitelzweig said. “You always have to be mindful of what customers need.”
Just a few weeks after revered longtime PDT bartender Jeff Bell announced the opening of Kees, his new subterranean lounge at 1 Cornelia Street, the cocktail guru has revealed yet another project. In partnership with Marx Realty, Bell is opening a new speakeasy-style concept, this one complete with a hidden entrance and a “complex entry process.” Highball Ltd. is officially open for business—if you can only find it inside the office tower at 10 Grand Central.

Before we get to how you can actually get in, a bit about the space, which is carved out of the building’s 11th-floor Meeting Galleries amenity, a new 11,000-square-foot hub. The entire project is essentially an homage to Grand Central Terminal: the design draws inspiration from all things train, specifically honoring the “golden age of luxury train travel,” according to an official description. The idea is that you’ll feel as though you’re sipping a very good cocktail in the bar car of a train.
The name of the destination is also on theme—doubly so. The moniker nods both to the classic whiskey cocktail and the “highball” railroad signal, when a ball raised to the top of a pole indicated that the track ahead was clear and the running train could proceed.

Highball Ltd. is actually just one quarter of the four distinct spaces that will make up the Meeting Galleries complex, which will also include a 200-person town hall venue called the Grand Gallery, a recording studio featuring state-of-the-art technology dubbed the Podcast Gallery, and the Screening Gallery—a “plush theater with stadium seating and a 150-inch screen beneath a constellation-inspired ceiling reminiscent of Grand Central’s celestial dome.”
But back to the secrecy of it all: you’ll want to look for a red light on Third Avenue near 44th Street. That’s the hidden entrance. Step inside, hop into the freight elevator and head up to the 11th floor. Perfect cocktails await… once you find the red light, of course.
58,000 square feet of new retail underway at Cross County Center
Two new buildings plus a 4-acre public park planned
Expansion reinforces one of Westchester’s top lifestyle retail hubs
What 58K SF of New Retail Means for Yonkers’ Leasing Momentum
Marx Realty is underway on a 58,000-square-foot retail expansion at Cross County Center in Yonkers, New York. The project includes two new buildings, one spanning 14,000 square feet on a single level and another totaling 44,000 square feet across two floors. Cross County Center already spans 1.2 million square feet and hosts more than 100 retail, dining, education, and entertainment tenants. Originally opened in 1954 with just 30 stores, the property has evolved into one of the dominant open-air retail destinations just north of New York City. For retail landlords, this move signals confidence in brick-and-mortar demand in high-density suburban corridors with strong commuter access.
What the 4-Acre Park Strategy Says About Experiential Retail
Beyond retail square footage, Marx Realty is investing in a 4-acre park that will host farmers’ markets, SummerFest events, wellness programming, and seasonal activities. An adjacent boardwalk with café-style seating and shaded umbrellas will serve as the new front entrance to the center. This is not just an expansion. It is repositioning. Lifestyle centers are increasingly competing on experience rather than pure retail mix. Creating programmed public space drives repeat foot traffic and increases dwell time, which translates into higher tenant sales productivity. For owners of open-air centers, placemaking is becoming a core leasing tool rather than an afterthought.
What This Means for Westchester Retail Fundamentals
Cross County Center’s tenant roster includes national brands such as H&M, Foot Locker, Bath & Body Works, Hollister, Crocs, and Chase Bank. The expansion reinforces the center’s role as a regional draw in Westchester County. Suburban retail in the New York metro area has remained resilient, especially in open-air formats with strong parking access and convenience. Expansions at stabilized centers typically signal healthy occupancy and retailer demand rather than speculative risk. For investors tracking New York retail outside Manhattan, Yonkers continues to benefit from population density, commuter traffic, and limited competing large-scale developments. Marx Realty’s investment suggests long-term confidence in experiential suburban retail as a durable asset class in the current cycle.
Marx Realty Launches Expansion at Yonkers’ Cross County Center
Marx Realty has begun construction on a two-building, 58,000-square-foot retail expansion at Cross County Center in Yonkers, NY. The 1.15-million-square-foot retail center, originally housing 30 stores when it opened in 1954, is now home to more than 100 retail, dining, educational and entertainment outposts across several buildings.
“The incredible demand for space at Cross County Center created the need to bring new physical space to the property,” said Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty. “We are also excited to introduce a new four-acre park and boardwalk which will act as the ‘front door’ to Cross County Center.”
Two new buildings – one single-story building comprising 14,000 square feet and one two-story building comprising 44,000 square feet — will rise on the north lot. Plans call for a 44,000-square-foot build-out for a national apparel retailer’s super flagship location, while Marx Realty will restack existing tenants to best accommodate new and existing retailers at the Center.
Highball Ltd. will occupy a 6,000-square-foot space on the 11th floor of 10 Grand Central.
An office building near Grand Central Terminal that offers its tenants a smorgasbord of amenities is getting a new one: a speakeasy.
East Village speakeasy Please Don’t Tell (PDT), along with Apres Cru Hospitality, is partnering with Marx Realty to bring Highball Ltd. to the 36-story Midtown office building. It’s set to open March 13.
“We want it to be different from anything that exists in the Grand Central neighborhood,” said Craig Deitzelweig, president and CEO of Marx Realty. “We want it to be a really elevated space where people can have conversations. You can celebrate your company’s success or someone’s birthday. I think Highball takes our amenities to the next level.”
The bar for amenities is already pretty high at 10 Grand Central.
Tenants have access to a luxury car that can take them to meetings. They can watch an independent film on a 150-inch screen in a theater on the 11th floor. Nearby, a gelato machine dispenses five flavors.
Highball will occupy a 6,000-square-foot space that is part of Marx Realty’s 11,000-square-foot amenity suite on the 11th floor. The suite has a meeting lounge that fits 200 participants, a sound-attenuated space equipped with technology needed to produce and record podcasts, and the aforementioned theater, with plush stadium seating.
Highball’s space will include a kitchen and seat 65 people. There is a hidden entrance on Third Avenue, with a red light to signal to guests that they are in the right place. Patrons then walk over a red carpet to a freight elevator, and press the H button for Highball.
The name of the speakeasy is a double entendre. A highball is a simple, tall mixed drink made with a spirit and two or more non-alcoholic mixers served over ice. The word is also a 19th-century railroading term referring to a signal that authorizes a train to move at full speed.
“The space kind of feels like a really nice Pullman car,” said Jeff Bell, PDT’s managing partner. “There is a train feel to it with a cove ceiling.”
The speakeasy’s menu will offer house highballs, signature and classic cocktails, including an Aperol spritz and a Manhattan. Pricing will start between $20 and $23. For the food, Marx Realty is bringing in Michelin-starred Chef Marc Forgione.
The lease is long-term. Marx Realty’s Henry Henderson represented his firm in the deal.
PDT, which is tucked behind a phone booth in the hotdog shop Crifs Dogs, opened at 113 St. Marks Pl. in 2007. The speakeasy topped World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2011, and won the inaugural James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program in 2012.
Bell said that opening Highball will broaden the company’s customer base beyond New York residents.
“There are so many office workers who live in Connecticut, Westchester and Long Island who only have time to get a quick drink nearby before hopping on the train,” Bell said. “Its a whole new target audience than what we have at PDT.”
BIG Announcement Made at Business Council of Westchester and Fordham Real Estate Institute Event: Marx Realty Begins Construction on Retail Expansion and 4-Acre Park at Cross County Center in Yonkers
In big news on the retail front, announced at Wednesday’s Business Council of Westchester and Fordham University Real Estate Institute event, BCW Member Marx Realty announced this week it has begun construction on a two-building, 58,000-square-foot retail expansion at Cross County Center in Yonkers. The 1.15 million-square-foot retail center is now home to over 100 retail, dining, educational and entertainment outposts across several buildings and serves as the heart of the Westchester community.
“The incredible demand for space at Cross County Center created the need to bring new physical space to the property,” said Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty. “The country’s leading retail and dining destinations want to plant their flags at Cross County Center due in large part to our special mix of tenants and uses as well as our beautiful green spaces, hands on management and our ongoing reinvestment in maintaining its place as the northeast region’s preeminent retail center. We also are excited to introduce a new 4-acre park and boardwalk which will act as the new “front door” to Cross County Center.”
Two new buildings — one single-story building comprising 14,000 square feet and one two-story building comprising 44,000 square feet — will rise on the north lot at Cross County Center and infrastructure-related construction for the new development is currently underway. Plans call for a 44,000-square-foot build out for a national apparel retailer’s super flagship location while Marx Realty will restack existing tenants to best accommodate new and existing retailers at the Center.
Marx Realty will also develop a beautiful 4-acre green park with an allée of trees, creating an oasis to accommodate seasonal programming and serve as the heart, and new “front door,” of this iconic lifestyle center. The park will include a variety of seating options while the space will accommodate farmer’s markets, Summer Fest events and many wellness programs. An adjacent boardwalk will offer café-style seating and umbrella shaded areas.
“Cross County Center provides a vibrant and welcoming space for visitors whether they visit to shop and dine or just to unwind with family and friends,” continued Deitelzweig a former honoree of the BCW’’s Business Hall of Fame. “Green spaces, a beautiful new park, seating areas and year-round programming provide ample opportunity to spend a day at the center enjoying all it has to offer. Current and prospective tenants understand the value of our efforts and the placemaking power of real estate.”

The expansion will rise on the property’s north lot and consist of a 14,000-square-foot single-story building and a 44,000-square-foot two-story structure. Plans call for the larger building to house a super-flagship location for a national apparel retailer. The development will also include underground parking, new vertical transportation systems, and the repositioning of existing tenants to accommodate both new and current retailers. Infrastructure work related to the expansion is currently in progress.

In addition to the retail component, Marx Realty will create a 4-acre park designed to function as a central gathering space within the complex. The park will feature an allée of trees, varied seating areas, and flexible space for seasonal programming such as farmers’ markets, summer events, and wellness activities. An adjacent boardwalk with café-style seating and shaded areas will serve as a new primary entrance to the center, marked by prominent signage and enhanced landscaping.
Cross County Center is located at the intersection of Cross County Parkway and Interstate 87. The property is accessible via the Metro-North Railroad’s Yonkers Station, which connects to Grand Central Terminal.
