About Us

Founded in 1988 by Jean and John Entwistle, NYC Office Suites’ focus was to provide turn-key, executive offices with flexible contract terms and customer service excellence. The first location for the company was established in the Graybar Building at Grand Central Terminal. In 2000, Daniel J. Entwistle joined the family business and was named President. Daniel Entwistle identified new opportunities to meet the growing demand of businesses and began the company’s rapid expansion both at the Graybar Building and in a nearby location at 708 Third Avenue. This strategic move resulted in making NYC Office Suites the largest provider of turn-key, executive office suites in the Grand Central District. In 2009 NYC Office Suites acquired 75,000 square feet at 1350 Avenue of the Americas and expanded operations into the prestigious Plaza District. The Plaza District location is the single largest executive office business center facility in New York City.
