The tech giant will expand its New York footprint with the new lease, adding to its existing 200,000 square feet of space in the city.<\/p>\n<p>In a deal first reported by <em>Bloomberg<\/em>, Microsoft will occupy floors 6-10 in a long-term lease at the boutique office building. Along with other tech firms, Microsoft had been on the hunt for space in the borough for some time.<\/p>\n<p>The lease is the latest move by a big tech firm to lock down office space, bucking the trend of companies downsizing or rethinking their office plans. Back in September, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/google-to-purchase-st-johns-terminal-for-2-1b\/\">announced plans to acquire<\/a> the 1.3 million-square-foot St. John\u2019s Terminal in Manhattan, while LinkedIn recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/linkedin-buys-global-hq-for-323m\/\">purchased its Silicon Valley headquarters<\/a> for $323 million from RREEF Property Trust.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-5-office-transactions-in-manhattan\/\">Top 5 Office Deals in Manhattan<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Owned by The Bromley Cos., 122 Fifth Ave. is a 10-story boutique office property located between 17th and 18th Streets in the Flatiron neighborhood. The building is situated a few blocks south of the famed Flatiron building and one block west of Union Square.<\/p>\n<p>The property is currently in the midst of major renovations, including expanding the building\u2019s floorplates and constructing a new, adjacent building to be merged with the original structure. Plans also call for a 13,000-square-foot roof deck for tenants. The 300,000-square-foot building was originally built in 1900 and was purchased by Bromley in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>A Newmark team of David Falk, Eric Cagner, Peter Shimkin, Ben Shapiro, Jordyn Comras and Dylan Weisman represented The Bromley Cos. in the deal, while Microsoft was represented by a JLL team of Lisa Kiell and Randy Abend.<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan\u2019s office vacancy rate plateaued in September, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/nyc-market-update-vacancy-struggles-to-keep-up\/\">according to recent data<\/a> from CommericalEdge.
