Sidney Frank Importing Co.

The office move is targeted for June.

Empire State Realty Trust”™s 10 Bank St., is an approximately 229,000-square-foot, 12-story office tower within walking distance of the White Plains Transportation Center.
“This upper floor availability at 10 Bank Street provided Sidney Frank with a unique opportunity to house its operations on a single, efficient floor plate, with an abundance of natural light and expansive corner views, and easy access to mass transit,” said Jeffrey H. Newman, senior vice president of ESRT, in the deal announcement. “We are thrilled to welcome Sidney Frank to our portfolio.”
