NEW YORK CITY – American International Group Inc. is set to relocate its global headquarters in New York City. The company will move its headquarters from the Financial District to occupy eight floors and 325,000 square feet at 1271 Ave. of the Americas within Rockefeller Center in Midtown.

In addition, AIG is consolidating its remaining New York City area footprint into 450,000 square feet. The space will be divided between two new locations at 28 Liberty St. in Lower Manhattan and 30 Hudson St. along the waterfront in Jersey City, NJ.

The global insurance company will move into each of the three new, class A office buildings in 2021.

"By optimizing and modernizing our New York City area real estate footprint, we will align our workplaces with the objectives of AIG 200, our global, multi-year effort to position AIG for the future," said Peter Zaffino, AIG president and global COO. "We are designing offices in these three class A buildings that will allow our teams to work more effectively and collaboratively with high-quality infrastructure. Our people are our most important asset, and we remain committed to providing a safe and productive work environment while incorporating key learnings that have emerged while working remotely."

"New York City has played an important part in AIG's history and we are proud to be headquartered in this unique and resilient city," said Brian Duperreault, CEO of AIG. "Our new midtown headquarters building is in close proximity to many of our clients, distribution partners and other stakeholders. We take pride in our role as a responsible corporate citizen and remain committed to doing our part to help strengthen our New York City and Jersey City communities."
