About Noah & Co.

Most businesses that lease office space in Midtown Manhattan do it once every five or ten years. Their landlord does it every day.

That gap - between how often tenants negotiate and how often landlords do - is where most leasing mistakes happen. Tenants accept the landlord's framing of what's reasonable. They don't know what's actually closing in the market. They don't have alternatives ready. And they don't know that the fee for professional representation comes entirely from the landlord, not from them.

Noah & Co. exists to close that gap.

What we do

We are a Midtown Manhattan office brokerage. We find space, evaluate options, create alternatives, and negotiate directly against landlord teams that do this every day. Our clients walk into their lease knowing exactly what the market is doing, what they could have gotten elsewhere, and what every clause they signed actually means.

Why It Costs You Nothing

In commercial office leasing, the landlord pays the tenant broker's fee. Not a portion of it - all of it. The reason is straightforward: there has always been more office space than tenants to fill it. Landlords compete for tenants, and the convention of covering the tenant rep fee is part of how that competition plays out. It has worked this way for decades. You get professional representation and the landlord picks up the cost because they are competing for your tenancy regardless of whether you use a broker or not.

The practical implication: there is no financial reason not to have representation.

The Structural Advantage

Noah & Co. closes enough deals in Midtown annually that we have a current, ground-level read on what is actually happening in the market - not what asking rents say is happening. We know which landlords are conceding on free rent right now, which buildings have been sitting long enough that leverage has shifted, and which deals are getting structured in ways that don't appear in any public data source.

That intelligence is what we bring to your negotiation. Not general market knowledge. Specific, current, deal-level intelligence that changes what you can ask for and what you're likely to get.

Founded in 2017

Noah & Co. was founded by Benjamin Blumenthal in 2017. Benjamin started his career at Norman Bobrow & Co. in 2012 and has since advised on more than 250 Midtown office transactions totaling over $544 million. The firm handles the full range of office leasing assignments - new leases, renewals, subleases, relocations, and dispositions. It has grown deliberately: small enough that senior attention is on every deal, large enough to have the market presence that creates real leverage.
