Law firm Greenberg Traurig is in talks to relocate to One Vanderbilt
Law firm is considering splitting space in supertall tower and SL Green’s 420 Lex

The newest potential tenant at SL Green Realty’s 1.7 million-square-foot One Vanderbilt needs no introduction with the bigwigs at the real estate investment trust.

Greenberg Traurig, the law firm that’s represented SL Green in blockbuster deals like the $2.5 billion purchase of 11 Madison Avenue and the $453 million sale of the leasehold at the Lipstick Building, is negotiating to lease space at the under-construction supertall office tower, sources told The Real Deal.

The exact square footage under negotiation wasn’t immediately clear. Greenberg occupies roughly 200,000 square feet on a lease expiring in late 2021 at the MetLife Building at 200 Park Avenue, where the firm’s attorneys can peer out their windows at the steel superstructure rising out of the ground for what will eventually be the 1,401-foot-tall tower.

The law firm is also negotiation to lease back-office space at the Graybar Building at 420 Lexington Avenue, where SL Green’s headquarters are located.

SL Green has long said it planned to wait until next year to launch its leasing efforts in full force, in order to ink deals closer to when the building is scheduled for completion in 2020. But company executives had said they would entertain potential deals if they came along, and there’s recently been activity.

In September, German lender DZ Bank and its affiliate, DVB Bank, signed leases totaling 35,500 square feet in the building. And firms like the Carlyle Group and McKinsey & Company have also reportedly shown interest in the tower, though the latter firm last month inked a deal to relocate its Midtown headquarters to 200,000 square feet at Silverstein Properties’ 3 World Trade Center.

SL Green signed One Vanderbilt anchor tenant TD Bank to 200,000 square feet in 2014. Chef Daniel Boloud earlier this year agreed to open an 11,000-square-foot restaurant on the tower’s second floor.

yeah when you walk by they are lifting, clanging and banging and sparks are flying.

actually, i hope they aren't going too fast.

years back i saw workers going at it like such maniacs on the trump soho tower that it stopped me right in my tracks to watch i was so horrified. sure enough a worker was killed the very next day. really haunts me.

I'm dying to see live cladding.

And I'm also interested in finding out if they're gonna go a different glass hue for the ob deck as was conjectured in an earlier post.

It's in the link. There are a number of drone photos, including a similar shot of 30 Hudson Yards, which makes this one look like the baby it still is...

[NYguy]

It's important how a skyscraper plays at street level, especially in a pedestrian friendly city like New York. I like this one already, even though it looks like the mother ship has landed from some angles. (And the city always looks best to me on overcast days).

Bringing in the big steel...






Crazy cantilevers and trusses...

[Downburst]

I'm floored by the speed and complexity of the steel construction. It's really something to see.

>> complexity...

Yes, it's straight-up astounding. It's CAD-meets-real-world-fabrication, with 10-50 ton beams being mated up to each other, with infrequent right-angles, with crazy-small tolerances. Insane.

My guess is the slice of the building they've been working on over the last few weeks is a gigantic load-transfer project... basically a huge series of north/south and east/west trusses being assembled to carry the rest of the building above. Second guess is that on top of that, things get somewhat more "regular" and the height will climb even more quickly.

I am almost 1000% sure drones are illegal in NYC.

There is a permit process in NYC I believe.

[chris08876]

Yeah a permit for outside of designated areas, which are very few. Also, I believe FAA registration. There is a whole set of regulations for it.

Legality depends on the situation. If you have a permit, it varies on your location and the limitations and terms in the permit. Obviously flying right near an air port is a no-no. But people will fly them illegally anyways.

Depends on the area. Permit does not mean its illegal, but you are bound by restrictions and rules. Drone flying in NYC is very restrictive.
