Studley has announced that WisdomTree Investments, Inc., a New York-based exchange-traded fund sponsor and asset manager, has signed a 15-year, 37,923 s/f lease comprising the entire 35th floor at 245 Park Avenue.
The firm will be moving from a 20,000 s/f space at 380 Madison Avenue to the 45-story, 1.7 -million square foot office tower within the first quarter of 2014.
Studley executive vice president Matthew Barlow, executive managing director Greg Taubin and assistant director Gabe Marans represented the tenant in the long-term leasing transaction.
