Sagard was founded in 2005 by the Power Corporation of Canada with offices also in Toronto and Paris. It currently has its New York City outpost in about 7,000 square feet on the third floor of 280 Park, the source said.

Vornado handled the deal in-house via Edward Riguardi along with CBRE’s Gregg Rothkin. David Dusek of Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant.

Spokespeople for CBRE, Vornado and C&W declined to comment.

Other tenants in the 1.3 million-square-foot complex include Cardinia Real Estate, Wells Fargo and Antares Capital.
