The space TZP secured was fully demolished and the private equity firm will be building brand new offices before occupying it sometime in the middle of next year, sources said.

Newmark’s Jason Greenstein and David Falk represented TZP. Vornado’s Jared Solomon and Glen Weiss handled it for the landlord in-house. Both Newmark and Vornado declined to comment.
