Another major, unreported set of talks is between Pfizer and Brookfield for 600,000 square feet at Manhattan West. Pfizer plans to sell its East 42nd Street headquarters buildings, where it occupies 1 million square feet, by the end of the year.

.....Other potential moves involve Times Square-based E&Y, which is looking for 600,000 square feet at 1 Manhattan West or 1271 Sixth Ave.; Amazon at Brookfield’s 5 Manhattan West; Apollo Investment Group searching beyond its current home at 9 W. 57th St.; and Thompson Reuters, looking to exit Times Square for 350,000 square feet elsewhere.

Trial Firm McKool Smith Seals Deal for 64K SF at 1 Manhattan West

BY LAUREN ELKIES SCHRAM
JULY 11, 2017

Quote:

Heavy-hitting U.S. trial firm McKool Smith has finalized a deal to relocate its New York City office to 64,120 square feet at 1 Manhattan West, Commercial Observer has learned.

The transaction gives McKool Smith the 50th and 51st floors in Brookfield Property Partners’ 67-story, 2.1-million-square-foot office tower, which is under construction at 10th Avenue and West 33rd Street, the landlord informed CO. The building will be delivered at the end of 2019, the same year its current space expires at One Bryant Park.

The lease is for 15 years, Brookfield indicated. The asking rent was $108 per square foot, according to The Real Deal, which reported in May that the patent-litigation firm was in late-stage talks to lease two floors in the tower, and the taking rent exceeded $100 per foot. A Brookfield spokesman confirmed the asking rent.

Ric Clark, the senior managing partner and chairman of Brookfield Property Partners, said in a statement: “Leading companies continue to be drawn to Manhattan West.”

McKool Smith will join anchor tenant Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom as well as the National Hockey League.

“This year marks the 10th anniversary since we opened our New York office in 2007,” Mike McKool, a founder and chairman of McKool Smith, said in prepared remarks. “New York is a very important market for the firm and our clients, and our move to 1 Manhattan West demonstrates our continued commitment to strengthening and expanding our capabilities in the region. We are very excited about the new space.”

There is now a second crane operational on site.

colemonkee · #**1771** Posted **Jul 25, 2017, 7:23 PM**

I wonder if that's why the steel has been so slow to rise.

Accenture inks 15-year lease at Brookfield’s 1 Manhattan West
Company is taking 250,000 sf

August 03, 2017

Quote:

Accenture, a business and technology consulting giant, inked a lease for 250,000-square-feet at Brookfield Properties’ One Manhattan West.

The company signed a 15-year lease for the top eight floors of the Hudson Yards tower, the Wall Street Journal reported. Accenture is consolidating its other offices in the city, including two locations at 1345 and 155 Sixth Avenue, as part of its efforts to invest heavily in its U.S. operations.

“For us, we were very much looking at space we knew would be an iconic New York location,” Kathleen O’Reilly, senior managing director of Accenture’s U.S. Northeast region, told the Journal. “We’ve taken the top floors of the building, and that expansiveness is almost a metaphor of our thinking.”

The 2.1-million-square-foot tower has attracted other big-name tenants. Ernst & Young has been in talks with Brookfield to take 600,000-square feet in the building. Amazon.com has also mulled moving to the eight-acre, six building development. In May, The Real Deal reported that patent-litigation law firm McKool Smith is in late-stage talks to lease the 50th and 51st floors of One Manhattan West.

Morgan Stanley searches for new Manhattan HQ, may favor Hudson Yards

Herbert Lash and Olivia Oran
August 9, 2017

Quote:

Morgan Stanley (MS.N) is looking around Manhattan for a possible new global headquarters and may be leaning toward the hot Hudson Yards district, as the amount of space the bank is asking brokers to seek out is constraining its options.

The bank issued a request for proposal for 1.9 million square feet, said one source. The request's size essentially limits the company's choices to new construction and leaves few places outside of Hudson Yards capable of meeting the request.

The space requested equals the combined 1.335 million square feet that Morgan Stanley occupies in its current global headquarters at 1585 Broadway in Midtown and the 564,900 square feet at its investment management headquarters at 522 Fifth Avenue.

Morgan Stanley is under no pressure to move as it owns both buildings. Staying and renovating its New York headquarters is an option also actively under consideration, according to a second source with knowledge of the bank's thinking.

The bank, which declined to comment for this story, has ruled out a move to downtown Manhattan, the second source said.

Highly visible companies such as KKR (KKR.N), BlackRock (BLK.N), Time Warner (TWX.N) and others are leaving Midtown for Hudson Yards, a vast privately funded development rising over the Penn Station rail tracks near the Hudson River that has been led by Related Cos.

Driving the projects at Hudson Yards are demographics and office design as companies aim to capture an urban workforce, said Jesse Keenan, a professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design.

Morgan Stanley, like other companies seeking the open floor plans and higher ceilings typical of the new 60-story towers, needs flexible work teams and spaces that can adapt to changing markets over the course of a building's useful life, he said.

Morgan Stanley may only seek a little more 1 million square feet, the first source said.

One potential option in Hudson Yards is a 65-story tower with 2.85 million square feet and open-air terraces designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels whose plans were announced by developer Tishman Speyer early last year, the second source said.

Another close-by possibility is Brookfield Property Partners' Manhattan West project, both sources said.

Brookfield and Tishman declined to comment.

I see the battle as being between 2 Manhattan West, 50 Hudson, and the Spiral.

Man... if only Silverstein had competitive rates that could compete with Midtown West. This could be the missing piece in the puzzle. 1.9 mil square feet, I could think of one giant void downtown were this would be dream...

But... it's fantasy talk. Would be to good to be true.

But in hindsight, 2 MW will fill up. Its location guarantees it... and I'd rather see this if Hudson Yards is the itinerary, for 3 Hudson to get them as an anchor over The Spiral (Ingel) any day of the week.

Good old Foster design.
