Kent Swig Evicted Amid Rent Dispute

Kent Swig and Helmsley Spear face a major setback after being evicted from their Midtown office at 747 Third Ave, following a breakdown in negotiations with sublandlord ITN Holdings over back rent. Despite claiming good-faith talks, the firm was ousted without resolution and is now scrambling for new space — a pattern echoing past financial disputes, including a $342 million lawsuit over missed payments at a prior Manhattan property. Yet Swig remains active in economic development, advising North Fork businesses on revitalizing underused spaces through flexible rents and shared parking. With a storied Manhattan real estate career marked by both triumphs and losses — including heavy setbacks after the 2008 crash — Swig’s latest eviction underscores the volatility of his business journey.
