NEW YORK CITY-The New York City Human Resources Administration will be consolidating and relocating its executive and administrative staff to 4 World Trade Center in early 2015, city officials confirm to GlobeSt.com. A source close to the deal but not affiliated with the HRA says the NYC HRA will take 582,000 square feet on floors 22 to 35 in the 2.3-million-square-foot tower, making it the second largest government tenant here.

Connie Ress, deputy commissioner for communications and marketing at the NYC HRA, tells GlobeSt.com that the HRA will move from its three current locations at 180 Water St., 2 Washington St. and 250 Church St. “It was communicated to all of our staff late yesterday,” she says, noting that the move will not affect the HRA’s 75 care sites throughout the five boroughs.

“We are a very large agency, and all of our frontline staff help people in all of those sites. This move is simply the executive and administrative staff.” The source says the HRA's three current office locations total approximately 700,000 square feet about 3,000 employees will be making the move to 4 WTC.

In 2006, the city agreed to lease the property with Silverstein Properties, but an agency was not yet established for the space. The agreement calls for rents starting at $56.50 per square foot. The class A building--to be completed 2013--will also be occupied by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
