“The floor plate, location, and renovation to the Brookfield Place complex provide RK&O with an excellent platform to continue the firm’s prosperity well into the future,” said Ted Rotante, an executive managing director with Colliers (CIGI) International, who arranged the renewal on behalf of the tenant, in a prepared statement.  

“Brookfield’s redesign of the retail, dining, and public spaces in Brookfield Place, when combined with the outdoor space, retail and transportation at the World Trade Center campus, offer a plethora of amenities for RK&O’s clients and employees.”

The property at 200 Liberty Street is the southernmost office tower at the Brookfield Place complex. It consists of more than 1.7 million square feet of office and retail space, along with interior and exterior public amenities, with other tenants including Willis and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.

The Brookfield Place complex encompasses more than eight million square feet within the four unique copper-crowned granite and glass office towers designed by Cesar Pelli, with extensive public space, dozens of shops and restaurants, and a stunning outdoor waterfront esplanade along the Hudson River.
