The Rudin Family has just completed a full floor office lease with a nationally prominent architectural firm at 55 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan.
H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture LLC has signed a 10-year, 10,779 square-foot lease comprising the entire 19th floor of the 30-story, 400,000 square-foot building for its New York headquarters.
The company, which is known for its work on such notable local projects as the restoration of Pier A, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Lincoln Center Theater, expects to relocate from 902 Broadway in the Flatiron District in the second quarter of 2015.
“We’re delighted to welcome this prestigious architecture firm to our building at 55 Broad Street, which is recognized as an elite address for technology, creative and telecommunications firms here in New York,” stated Bill Rudin, Vice Chairman and CEO of Rudin Management Company, the operating arm of the Rudin Family holdings, which owns and developed the building.
Scott Vinett and Michael Higgins of Jones Lang LaSalle represented H3 Hardy in the long-term transaction, while Kevin P. Daly, Vice President of
Commercial Leasing at Rudin Management, represented the building’s ownership in-house. Asking rents were $44 per square foot.
The high tech tower, New York’s first totally wired office building is designated Platinum Wired Certified for best in class connectivity. The building is currently 95 percent leased.
