In Mocean Expands to 53,000 SF in Garment District Building

463 Seventh Ave. in Midtown South

NEW YORK CITY—Although a high tech wave seems to be rolling into New York City, some traditions are not being washed away. The manufacturer of the Catalina swimsuit is staying in the Garment District. The swimwear maker, In Mocean (having a name of wordplay “in motion” but in the ocean), is not only remaining in its current space at 463 Seventh Ave. but has also expanded its footprint. The company signed a new, 10-year and two-month lease with the building’s owner, Adams & Co. Real Estate, for 23,785 square feet on the ninth floor. The asking rent was $52 per square foot.

In Mocean will also remain in the space that it has leased for the last four years. This comprises 29,659 square feet across the 15th, 20th, 21st and 22nd floors. The company has been using this area for general and executive offices and showroom space. With the new lease, In Mocean now occupies a total of 53,444 square feet in the building. David Levy, principal of Adams & Co., represented the building ownership in the negotiations. Brokers were not involved in the deal.
