NEW YORK CITY—Preparing for its consolidation into 200 Park Ave., MetLife is working to sublease nearly 400,000 square feet at Three Bryant Park. The long-term sublease is slated to be delivered to the market by late 2016 or early 2017.

The insurance giant tapped Cushman & Wakefield's Bruce Mosler, John Cefaly, Robert Lowe and Ethan Silverstein to market the space. Three Bryant Park is a class-A office building that was completely re-clad and renovated in 2009.

“This is a rare opportunity for a headquarters location, with the ability for prominent signage in a prime Midtown location,” says Mosler, chairman of global brokerage.

?MetLife, which leases floors 13 to 20, 23, 39 to 41 and a private ground floor lobby in the 41-story Midtown office tower, recently announced its plans to relocate to 200 Park Ave. in a 500,000 square foot lease. C&W represented the company in the lease, one of the largest office transactions to date this year.

“This availability is an exciting opportunity, with full floors of 35,000 square feet in a great asset,” asserts Cefaly, a Cushman & Wakefield executive vice chairman.
