Bliss Holding Group is moving into a 26,000-square-foot space in the Helmsley Building, a 34-story, Beaux-Arts style building at 230 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. Bliss, which has signed a 10-year lease on the space, is scheduled to move from its current offices at 500 Park Avenue this summer. Purchased by real estate owner, manager, and developer RXR in 2017, the building has since undergone extensive renovation. RXR will provide Bliss with a private entrance lobby. “Their presence will be a great addition to the wide range of firms who occupy this iconic building,” said William Elder, EVP and Managing Director of New York City Leasing at RXR.
