Convene has signed a 72,000-square-foot lease at 30 Hudson Yards, the 101-story Class A+ office tower in Manhattan. CBRE brokered the deal on behalf of both parties.

The skyscraper has multiple owners, including Time Warner Inc., which owns 1.5 million square feet, KKR, Wells Fargo Securities, DNB, Oxford Properties Group and Related Cos. All ownership partners have offices at the property.

Convene will fully occupy the 24th floor at the 2.6 million-square-foot high-rise, where it will open a new experiential event venue.

The skyscraper features 30 passenger elevators and floorplates ranging between 30,000 and 70,000 square feet, according to CommercialEdge. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates designed the 1,296-foot tower, which was the second-tallest building in New York City at the time of its topping out in 2018.

Amenities include outdoor terraces and direct access to the subway lines. The LEED Gold-certified property is home to The Edge, an outdoor observation deck, and to the City Climb at Edge, an outdoor staircase allowing visitors to ascend to the top floor. The skyscraper is in Midtown Manhattan and 30 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
