The company said amenities at its new office, which is owned by Brookfield Properties, will include flexible collaboration spaces, event and conference facilities, and wellness spaces for employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>200 Liberty St. opened in 1986 and currently boasts a 1.8 percent vacancy rate, according to Yardi Matrix.

In December 2025, Bloomberg signed an 11-year, 495,753-square-foot lease at 120 Park Ave., a 26-story tower owned by Global Holdings. The firm had occupied space in the building since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/gfi-group-doubles-down-at-manhattan-office-building\/\">GFI Group renewed and extended<\/a> its lease at 55 Water Street, a Class A office tower in Manhattan\u2019s Financial District. The company said it would more than double its space in the New Water Street Corp.-owned building from 63,756 square feet to 128,749 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/manhattans-office-sector-defies-national-slowdown\/\">Manhattan\u2019s office sector<\/a> continues to defy national trends. As of September 2025, the borough\u2019s vacancy rate stood at 12.8 percent, according to a Yardi Matrix report, representing a 400-basis-point year-over-year decline.
