Private equity firm Incline Equity Partners has signed a 14,198-square-foot lease at 101 Park Ave., HJ Kalikow & Co. LLC’s Midtown Manhattan tower.

Incline Equity’s new space at the office building will be on the 47th floor, in addition to the existing 18,000-square-foot lease on the 46th floor. The company relocated to 101 Park Ave. in 2023, doubling its previous office space at 505 Fifth Ave.

JLL’s Vice Chairman Alexander Chudnoff, Senior Managing Director Nick Francic, Vice Chairman Harrison Potter and Senior Associate Kate Roush worked on behalf of the tenant, while Cushman & Wakefield’s Executive Vice Chairman John Cefaly and Managing Director Nicholas Dysenchuk represented the ownership in the transaction.

HJ Kalikow & Co. has owned and operated the property since it was built in 1982. The Manhattan tower is currently the subject of a $365 million 10-year fixed-rate loan originated by Bank of America in 2018, according to CommercialEdge information.
