The lease agreement was finalized with an asking rent of $88 per square foot, reflecting the building's value and prestige.
According to the first-quarter earnings supplement of Empire State Realty Trust, the Empire State Building was reported to be 93% leased. Thomas P. Durels, the executive vice-president for real estate, expressed his confidence in Kearney's tenancy, stating that the firm's employees would be treated to breathtaking views from their new offices.
Kearney employees will not only be able to enjoy the panoramic vistas but also have access to an impressive range of amenities spanning 65,000 square feet. These include a state-of-the-art fitness center, seven dining options, a luxurious lounge area, basketball and pickleball courts, and advanced golf simulators. These amenities further enhance the working experience for Kearney and other tenants of the Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building's ongoing transformation, combined with the arrival of prestigious tenants like Kearney, solidifies its status as a premier business destination.
