The Girl Scouts wants out of its lease at Trump property

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/14/trump-impeachment-biden-transition-live-updates/

Since the attack on the U.S. Capitol last week, Trump’s company has lost three of its banks, two of its real estate brokers, its e-commerce site, its chance to host a major golf championship and its contracts to run a golf course, two ice rinks and even a children’s carousel.

Now, it is losing the Girl Scouts.

The Girl Scouts of Greater New York, which leases office space in Trump’s building at 40 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, said this week that they are seeking “as a matter of very high priority” to move out. The Girl Scouts’ lease, signed in 2014, was supposed to last 15 years.

The Girl Scouts rents 14,000 square feet on the seventh floor of Trump’s building, according to the real estate database firm CoStar. Their rent has not been disclosed, but — at current market rates — a space that size would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Free sales force. Cha-Ching.

It does seem they could have found somewhere else that’s less expensive
