RFR’s AJ Camhi and Ryan Silverman handled the deal alongside a JLL (JLL) team of John Wheeler and Clayton Kline. Cushman & Wakefield (CWK)’s Dan Organ brokered the transaction for Mashreqbank, which has 12 offices overseas in Europe, Asia and Africa. A spokesman for C&W declined to respond to a request for comment.

The deal was part of a few new transactions signed at the 570,696-square-foot office tower.

London-based M Three Consulting signed a 4,812-square-foot deal at the building, and it is moving from 14 Wall Street between Broadway and Nassau Street. Also, law firm Torgan, Cooper & Aaron inked a 6,443-square-foot renewal. Rob Lowe and Evan Algier of C&W handled the deal for the law firm. And financial planner Granger Management Holdings renewed its 3,263-square-foot space.

“We continue to attract and retain prestigious global companies who have chosen 17 State Street as their home,” Camhi said in a prepared statement. “Each of the executives and employees at these firms will benefit from its close proximity to transportation… as well as the stunning views of New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and [The Battery].”
