JLL's Owen Hane represented Moda Operandi on the deal. Cushman & Wakefield's Rico Murtha, Helen Paul, Joe Hentze Jr. and Sonny Singh represented building ownership, The Davis Cos.
"Moda Operandi's growth and scale led them to the decision to take their distribution needs in-house," Hane said in an email statement. "The Pearl Building offered an ideal location with close proximity to all major transportation outlets and access to Manhattan and a large portion of its customer base."
'The demand for well-located, high-functioning industrial space in New York City remains strong, and properties like the Pearl Building are ideally positioned to meet that need,' added David Allen, senior vice president of asset management at Davis.
The Pearl Building, which recently underwent a multimillion-dollar capital improvement program, is a three-story, 157,000-square-foot property that is home to tenants Fly E-Bike and Stronghold East LLC.
There is 22,000 square feet of space available for lease on the third floor of the property.

Lawsuit of Natick couple harassed by eBay can go to trial, judge rules

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Barring a settlement, the four-year-old lawsuit could go to trial later this year or early next year. Saris has repeatedly said at hearings that she wants to complete the proceedings as soon as possible. Advertisement Wenig, who received $57 million of severance when he left the company a month after the Steiners were harassed, was not criminally charged in the case and has said he did not know about the effort to terrorize the couple and would have stopped it if he had. Attorneys for the eBay and Wenig did not immediately offer comments on the ruling, which was issued after business hours. Advertisement In a statement, Andrew Finkelstein, a lawyer representing the Steiners, said the couple looked forward to a trial. 'The jury will be asked to fully and fairly compensate the Steiners for being subjected to eBay's terror campaign that attempted to silence their free speech rights, and to punish eBay for their egregious actions,' he wrote. In the ruling, Saris wrote that a jury would need to decide if the company was responsible for approving the actions of lower-level employees who conducted the harassment, a legal issue known as ratification. Based on text messages and alleged conversations, Saris determined a jury could find that eBay's former chief communications officer, Steve Wymer, may have 'ratified the conduct' of former security official Jim Baugh, the for his role. A jury would also need to decide whether Wenig, Wymer, and another former executive named Wendy Jones were negligent in supervising Baugh or participated in a conspiracy against the Steiners, Saris ruled. Those claims could be critical to the case because Saris ruled last year that the Steiners could seek punitive damages — $467 million of the amount they are seeking — only if they prevailed on charges of emotional distress or conspiracy. In her Tuesday ruling, Saris also trimmed some of the roughly $62 million the Steiners are seeking for other damages. Saris also dismissed charges that the company had defamed the couple. The judge also dismissed charges against a Nevada-based security contractor that worked for eBay called Progressive Force Concepts. Aaron Pressman can be reached at
