5WPR has already settled into the full fourth floor of the 1.5-million-square-foot tower on Avenue of the Americas between 45th and 46th Streets. The 10-year-old firm counts Whole Foods, McDonald’s and Evian among its notable accounts. It had previously subleased 24,000 square feet from the software company SunGuard at Vornado Realty Trust‘s  888 Seventh Avenue.

Mr. Lemle said that “in the new space, the firm will be able to accommodate new employees in a much larger, more centralized location.”
