Asking rents in the 50-story building are $95 per square foot, as CO previously reported.

Global Infrastructure Partners first moved into the tower between West 54th and West 55th Streets in 2018, relocating from its 30,500-square-foot offices at 12 East 49th Street, CO previously reported. 

Robert Martin and Dan Santagata of JLL (JLL) brokered the deal for the tenant while JLL’s Peter Riguardi, Alexander Chudnoff, Cynthia Wasserberger, Benjamin Bass and Betsy Buckley represented the landlord. 

A spokeswoman for Fisher Brothers declined to comment and a spokesman for JLL did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Other tenants in the 2-million-square-foot 1345 Avenue of the Americas include private equity firm Fortress Investment Group, law firm Linklaters and General Motors

Update: An original version of the story said Fisher Brothers signed an agreement with Convene to run an amenity space in the building, but the deal was never finalized.
