"When we recognized our need to expand, we found that the close proximity of Broad Financial Center to our headquarters as well as the open floor plates and state-of-the-art technological infrastructure at the property ideally suited our requirements," explains Fitch CFO David Kennedy.

The CB Richard Ellis team of Edward Goldman, executive vice president, Stacey Fabrikant, first vice president and Howard Bressler, vice president, negotiated on behalf of the building ownership, Broad Financial Center LLC. Mitchell Barnett, executive director, and Curtis Brown, associate director, of Cushman and Wakefield repped Fitch.

"The repositioning of Broad Financial Center has been a tremendous success since the former namesake tenant, NASD, vacated and as the events of 9/11 unfolded," notes Bressler, adding that during the past two years, more than 130,000 sf of new leases have been completed at Broad Financial.
