NEW YORK CITY—Global financial services firm Atlas Merchant Capital has signed for 17,519 square feet—the entire 21st floor—at 375 Park Ave., an asset belonging to RFR Realty.
Atlas was founded in 2013 by Bob Diamond, the former head of Barclays Bank who left the company after it was caught up a Libor scandal. Diamond has held senior executive positions, over the course of a decades long career, at major global financial institutions. His newest venture, Atlas, invests in Africa.
The lease follows a host of activity in the landmarked building, including Invemed Associates' 7,000-square-foot renewal, Fintech Advisory's 10,000-square-foot renewal and expansion, and Arden Asset Management's 17,500-square-foot renewal for the entire 32nd floor.
Located on Park Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets, 375 Park Ave. houses some of the world's premiere sovereign wealth funds, private equity firms, hedge funds and boutique financial services firms.
Steve Morrows, RFR Realty EVP and director of leasing, represented the company in-house in the lease negotiations.
