Lorient Opening First New York City Office at 825 Third Avenue
Healthcare-focused investment firm leases DurstReady suite at premier Midtown tower
New York, NY (October 7, 2026) - The Durst Organization announced today that Lorient, a healthcare-focused investment firm, signed a lease for 5,556 square feet at 825 Third Avenue, marking the firm's first New York City office. The office is a DurstReady suite, Durst's turnkey offering that comes move-in ready, fully furnished, and wired for immediate occupancy.
"We are grateful Lorient selected 825 Third Avenue for the firm's expansion into New York City, a testament to the major investment Durst made in the building with top-tier amenities, modern workspaces, and an ideal location in Midtown," said Jody Durst, President of The Durst Organization.
Lorient partners with founder-led healthcare companies bringing sector experience and a hands-on operational approach to help scale mission-driven businesses. The Miami-based firm has built a track record of supporting improvements in clinical outcomes, efficiency, and access to care across the U.S. healthcare system.
"Opening our first New York office represents an important next step in Lorient's continued growth," said David Berman, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Lorient. "Establishing a permanent presence in New York gives us additional capacity to grow our platform while preserving the hands-on, operationally intensive model that has defined Lorient from the beginning."
825 Third Avenue recently underwent a $150 million renovation focused on performance, tenant comfort, modern aesthetics, and sustainability. The tenant-exclusive Well& by Durst amenity floor sets a new standard with a uniquely curated indoor-outdoor experience for gatherings, meetings, and socializing with a 6,000-square-foot wrap-around terrace.
The building has a modern entrance and lobby, complemented by 4,000 square feet of public open space along Third Avenue and East 50th Street with plantings, seating, bike racks, and lighting.
DurstReady merges the convenience of turnkey private office spaces with flexible lease terms and the esteemed service and dependability of a century-old, family-operated real estate enterprise. DurstReady features exceptionally designed, fully wired offices with flexible layouts and dedicated pantries. Suites are located in Durst-owned-and-operated LEED Gold buildings with FSC-certified and sustainable materials, and on-site property management and security.
825 Third Avenue's tenant roster includes Toyota Tsusho America Inc., Edward Jones, Allied Irish Banks, Tokio Marine Group, Dimension Energy, Beveridge & Diamond, National Bank of Egypt, Macerich, Hodes Weill & Associates, Slarskey LLC, and Stark Office Suites.
