GlobeSt.com EXCLUSIVE: Google Expands NYC Presence

NEW YORK CITY-Increasing its space in the property to 46,272 sf, Google Inc. signs on for 23,136 sf at 1440 Broadway. The world’s No. 1 search engine, subleased office space previously occupied by Primedia Inc.

The CB Richard Ellis team of Kathryn Beach, Michael Geoghegan and Michael R. Laginestra arranged the deal, which runs through 2015, on behalf of Primedia, while Robert Tunis of GVA Williams and Warren Wixen of Bailes & Associates Inc. repped Google. Lease rates for the deal were not available, but space in the site is advertised starting at $34 per sf; subleasing rates tend to be lower.

Google, which previously leased 23,136 sf in the property, will now occupy space on the 20th and 21st floors, for its New York City headquarters offices. Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
