The move will generate 250 new jobs, fueled by Empire State Development\u2019s $24 million in performance-based tax credits that will be delivered over 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The new headquarters will be located at 61 Ninth Ave., a 145,000-square-foot Class A office building under development at the northwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 15th Street. Owned by Vornado Realty Trust and designed by Rafael Vi\u00f1oly Architects, the property is scheduled for completion later in 2017. The building will include 14.5-foot ceiling heights and an energy-efficient design. Additionally, the building will feature premier ground-floor retail space and will house the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/largest-starbucks-store-in-the-world-to-open-in-manhattan\/\">largest Starbucks store<\/a> in the world. Aetna will also invest $84 million in building fit-outs and equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>Inside the tech hub<\/h2>\n<p>The asset is situated at the intersection of Manhattan\u2019s Meatpacking District and Chelsea submarkets, bounded by retailers, eateries, bars, art galleries and parks. Google\u2019s Manhattan Campus and\u00a0Apple\u2019s Meatpacking store are also adjacent to the building. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>New York City is a knowledge economy hub, and a driver of the innovations that will play a significant part in our ongoing transformation. Many of the roles in our new office will be filled by innovators from the area\u2019s deep talent pool, which will be an invaluable resource as we consider additional investments in the city going forward,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0Aetna Chairman &amp; CEO Mark Bertolini said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Vornado Realty Trust<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The health care insurance giant will move its headquarters from Hartford, Conn., to Vornado Realty Trust&#8217;s upcoming 61 Ninth Ave., a Class A office building targeted for completion this year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":241,"featured_media":1004182636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21784,21783,1600,21742,10,21747],"tags":[36518,36519,33851,36524,33030],"class_list":["post-1004182632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brokerage","category-investment","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office","tag-61-ninth-avenue","tag-aetna","tag-empire-state-development","tag-rafael-vinoly-architects","tag-vornado-realty-trust"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
