NEW YORK CITY-Coty Inc., the global beauty, fragrance and cosmetics company behind brands like Sally Hansen and Rimmel London, is expanding its corporate presence at the Empire State Building. After consolidating its workforce to the historic skyscraper last year, the company is leasing an additional 120,000 square feet in the tower, bringing its total occupancy to 320,000 square feet on six full floors for a 17-year term, GlobeSt.com has confirmed.

Anthony Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings, the firm that supervises the property, tells GlobeSt.com deal ties in with Coty’s decision to gradually move all of its Manhattan-based personnel under one roof. “They are seeking to accomplish creating a campus environment if you will within the building,” he says, noting that proximity to transit and amenities were major factors in the transaction. “It gives them the benefit of proximity to each other, but it also provides them with great access to a great neighborhood. I know that they feel that this location works out very well for them.”

Coty, which previously occupied space at One and Two Park Avenue in Midtown South, began its relationship at the Empire State Building after taking 86,000 square feet on the 14th floor and part of the 15th floor in 2008. Then in 2011, it leased an additional 101,736 square feet on floors 16 through 17. Now, the beauty company will be located on floors 14 to 19 following a build-out by owner Empire State Building Co. LLC.
