Levitz opens new Manhattan headquarters
New offices located in historic Woolworth building
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, December 19, 2006
NEW YORK -- Levitz Furniture officially opened its new corporate headquarters yesterday in the historic Woolworth Building in downtown Manhattan.
The move comes one year after new ownership took over management of the company, implementing an aggressive plan to revitalize one of America’s best-known furniture brands.
The company, which formerly had its corporate office in Woodbury, N.Y., now occupies the entire 23rd floor (approximately 30,000 square feet) of the Woolworth Building, located at 233 Broadway between Barclay Street and Park Place in downtown Manhattan. The company maintains a small corporate presence in Woodbury.
“It is somewhat symbolic that we are moving into our new headquarters one year to the date that we began work to energize our company and breathe new life into the Levitz Furniture brand,” said Tom Baumlin, CEO. “We’ve made tremendous progress this year, opening new stores and renovating others to improve the Levitz shopping experience, establishing one of the most experienced and talented management teams in our industry, and attracting exceptional new people in all areas of our business.”
Built in 1913, the Woolworth Building is one of the 20 tallest buildings in New York City, and was the world’s tallest building until 1930 when it was surpassed by 40 Wall Street. The building, which totals 54 stories and more than 855,000 square feet, was commissioned by Woolworth’s founder Frank Woolworth as the retailer’s corporate headquarters.
