NEW YORK CITY-PVH Corp. is expanding the presence of its Warnaco Group unit at 501 Seventh Ave. here by about 37,000 square feet.

The expansion is part of a long-term renewal deal PVH inked with building owner Empire State Realty Trust Inc.

With the renewal and expansion at the building, PVH's Warnaco Group will occupy 223,616 square feet on part of the third, fifth and ninth floors and all of floors 10-15. In February of 2013, PVH acquired Warnaco, which was headquartered at the building.

"501 Seventh Avenue was in the opening stages of a major transformation, and the Times Square South submarket was just beginning to change from a garment to office tenant market, when Warnaco moved in approximately 10 years ago," says Thomas P. Durels, chief of property operations and leasing for Empire State Realty Trust. "Since then, the Times Square South submarket is attracting quality office tenants from a wide range of industries. We are thrilled to have PVH expand and extend its commitment with us, and we look forward to continuing our long-term relationship."

Mitchell Konsker and Matthew Astrachan of Jones Lang LaSalle and Steven Bauer of Cushman & Wakefield represented PVH in the lease negotiations. Harry Blair, Sean Kearns and Kelli Mekles of Cushman & Wakefield represented Empire State Realty Trust in the deal.

New York City-based Empire State Realty Trust has an office and retail portfolio totaling 8.4 million rentable square feet as of Sept. 30, 2013.
