The two largest leasing deals of the year to date in Midtown Manhattan amounted to nearly one-third of the total office leasing activity in the borough in May.
Bloomberg's extension of its 947K SF lease at 731 Lexington Avenue and Bain & Co.'s new 235K SF lease at 22 Vanderbilt Avenue pushed Manhattan's total office leasing volume up to 2.98M SF last month, an 8.4% increase over April's total of 2.75M, according to a new market report from Colliers.
