Bryan Cave is staying put in its 100,000 square feet on the 34th through 37th floors at 1290 Avenue of the Americas between West 51st and West 52nd Streets.
A company spokeswoman told Commercial Observer, “We have been very happy with our prime New York City location and look forward to continuing to welcome our clients from New York City and around the world who visit our offices.” The law firm has been in the space since 1989. The renewal commences in 2019.
According to Crain’s New York Business, which first reported on the news, rents for the firm’s space were in the high $80s per square foot. The deal is for 15 years, the Bryan Cave spokeswoman told CO. The law firm “will be undertaking a complete renovation of our space,” she said, noting it will become a “beautiful new work environment.”
Other tenants in Vornado Realty Trust‘s 41-story, 2.1-million-square-foot building office tower include investment management firm Neuberger Berman, with its global headquarters, Cushman & Wakefield (CWK), which last month expanded its offices to more than 200,000 square feet, and Morgan Stanley (MS).
Glen Weiss and Edward Riguardi of Vornado represented the landlord in-house. Lewis Miller’s team at CBRE represented Bryan Cave, the law firm’s spokeswoman said. A spokesman for Vornado declined to comment and a spokeswoman for CBRE didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
