The CBRE team of Jason Pollen, Silvio Petriello and Ben Friedland represented Orion Resource Partners in its lease negotiations, while CBRE's Ben Fastenberg, David Maurer-Hollaender and Cara Chayet acted on behalf of Whittle School & Studios in its transaction. CBRE was also present at the negotiating table on behalf of ownership. The CBRE team of Mary Ann Tighe, Howard Fiddle, Evan Haskell, Clyde Reetz, Evan Fiddle and Adele Huang, represented the Bank of China subsidiary in both transactions.

Orion Resource Partners needed larger space to meet its growing operations and wanted to be located in a building with expansive park views that was close to its current location in Midtown, Pollen of CBRE notes. “7 Bryant Park offered the opportunity to be located at a world-class address, in a building that is equipped with advanced technology and tenant infrastructure to help create a modern and forward-thinking workplace,” he adds.

CBRE's Fastenberg continues, “For its first New York City office, Whittle School & Studio desired a globally recognized property that would reflect the school's high level of prestige. 7 Bryant Park was able to deliver on those terms and additionally provided modern amenities and convenient access to several mass transit options, including a popular subway station directly below the building.”
