NEW YORK CITY-Intellectual property law firm Darby & Darby P.C. has signed a lease to move it headquarters to 7 World Trade Center, consuming approximately 80,000 sf. The space is located on the 41st and 42nd floors of the 52-story building and the length of the lease is 15 years.
Darby & Darby has been located at 805 Third Ave. for the last 17 years and will move all of its 200 employees to its new site by spring 2007. This marks the fifth major lease signed in the building. Andrew Baum, managing principal of Darby & Darby, tells GlobeSt.com the process of searching for space and signing the lease, “once we kicked it into high gear it took about four months.”
Baum tells GlobeSt.com the new building has numerous advantages over the company’s old digs. “At 7 World Trade Center we will be on two floors. Where we are now, we’re spread over four floors. Plus, the larger floor plates are going to allow us to do more to maximize our efficiency as a company.”
