SceniX 80 Eighth Avenue Lease: Full Floor Secured

GFP Real Estate's Matthew Mandell and 80 Eighth Avenue.

AI platform SceniX is continuing to scale its footprint in New York City, securing a full-floor lease at 80 Eighth Avenue as the company expands its robotics-focused operations. The 5,914-square-foot deal gives SceniX an opportunity to grow in a neighborhood that has become a hub for tech, creative firms, and AI-driven startups seeking efficient, well-located office space.

The company, which specializes in robotics development tools and AI-driven simulation environments, had been searching for a space that could accommodate both its engineering workflows and its growing team. The 17th floor of 80 Eighth Avenue offered a combination of open layout, natural light, and proximity to transit that aligned with SceniX’s operational needs. The lease also reflects the continued interest from emerging tech firms choosing Manhattan’s Midtown South submarket for its mix of workspace flexibility and access to talent.

Representing SceniX in the transaction were Dennis Someck and Justin Myers of Lee & Associates NYC, who advised the tenant throughout the search and negotiation process. Their work centered on identifying a space that could support SceniX’s technical requirements while still offering room for future headcount expansion. According to the brokers, the building’s infrastructure, floorplate efficiency, and location near Chelsea’s technology corridor made it a strong fit for a company operating at the intersection of AI and robotics.

Ownership at 80 Eighth Avenue has continued to see growing interest from tenants in engineering, digital media, and advanced technology sectors, all drawn by the property’s accessibility and the evolving energy of the surrounding neighborhood. SceniX’s commitment to the space further underscores the broader trend of AI-driven companies deepening their presence across Manhattan.

With its new office secured, SceniX plans to continue building out its platform capabilities and scaling its New York team. The move positions the company for continued growth as demand for robotics simulation and AI infrastructure accelerates across multiple industries.
