Moody's Inks 600,000-SF 7 WTC Term Sheet

NEW YORK CITY-Silverstein Properties has secured an anchor tenant for 7 World Trade Center. Sources tell GlobeSt.com that Moody’s Investor Services has signed a term sheet for approximately 600,000 sf on 15 floors. Last month , industry insiders told GlobeSt.com that the ratings firm was mulling a number of options in Lower Manhattan, including the 52-story 7 WTC.

Representatives from Silverstein Properties and Moody’s offered no comment on the pending deal. Earlier this year, Beijing Vantone Real Estate Co agreed to the basic terms of a lease for at least 200,000 sf to establish a China Center at the 1.7-million-sf site. American Express spin off Ameriprise Financial signed a 10-year lease for approximately 20,000 sf, which represents half of the 39th floor. The New York Academy of Sciences was first tenant to take space when it signed a 15-year, 40,000-sf lease for the entire 40th floor.
