Blackstone is looking to expand its office footprint in Manhattan by 1.5 million square feet, according to Bloomberg which cited an anonymous source in its report. The private equity giant is exploring various options including relocating from its Park Avenue headquarters, expanding there, or possibly redeveloping a building, Bloomberg said.
Depending on when it wants to execute, Blackstone will also have about 8.8 million square feet of new office product coming online this year to evaluate. This is the second highest delivery of new office space since 2007, according to research from Marcus & Millichap. So far, the majority of this space is unleased.
Two projects in the Hudson Yards district account for 5.8 million square feet of the new office space set to deliver into the market this year. Both properties are class-A in quality and highly amenitized. Another 1 million square feet of new office space is coming to the Chelsea neighborhood.
