The U.K.-based PR firm currently has its NYC offices in nearly 37,000 square feet at 245 Park Avenue. It’s unclear when it plans to move to its new digs.

Representatives for CBRE and Newmark declined to comment. 

“A leading, global advisory firm, Brunswick Group is a perfect fit for the elite tenant roster at Grace,” said Duncan McCuaig, the senior vice president for leasing at Brookfield said in a statement. “The execution of this lease demonstrates the timeless desirability of this iconic asset with its magnificent views and state-of-the art spaces.
