"During our search, the market continued to move down, which enabled us to lease class A space off Park Avenue, affording us additional efficiencies and cost savings," Heather W. Rutner, the firm's director of administration, tells GlobeSt.com.

The firm has signed a 13-year lease for two floors at the Plaza District tower, which has an asking price of $72 per sf. The firm previously called 505 Park Ave. home where they occupied approximately 30,000 sf of space.
