Dreyfus Inks 300,000 Plus Renewal and Expansion

NEW YORK CITY-Midtown is once again proving its might as Dreyfus chooses not go with the allure of Lower Manhattan and instead inks a 310,000-sf early lease renewal and signs on for another 40,000 sf in the MetLife building at 200 Park Ave.

Dreyfus, a mutual fund company founded in 1951 that currently manages $165 billion in more than 200 mutual fund portfolios, is a wholly owned subsidiary for Mellon Financial Corp.

The 2.8-million-sf Grand Central landmark is also home to Barclays Bank, Mitsui, CB Richard Ellis and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Retail tenants include Café Centro, Fleet Bank, Godiva and New York Sports Club.
