Interpublic Group Signs Lease at 1400 Broadway

The Interpublic Group of Companies (IPG) has signed a lease for 87,000 square feet at 1400 Broadway, a spokesperson confirmed with The Commercial Observer.

IPG, considered a “big four” advertising agency, is headquartered at 1114 Avenue of the Americas and also operates a U.S. regional office in Omaha, Neb.

The building at 1400 Broadway is owned by Malkin Holdings via W&H Properties. Currently, the building boasts 10,627 square feet of available space on the 10th floor, available immediately, according to the W&H Properties’ website. Read More
