I feel like we don't talk about this enough, the fact that there could be some units as large as 4 bedrooms on the upper floors, residential space that's not technically residential space...







Meanwhile, I'm expecting that Blackstone will be the signature office tenant here, if they sign before anyone else does...

Blackstone again weighing Manhattan HQ move, expansion

The private equity firm is seeking 1.5 million square feet of office space, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The company is weighing options that include a move to another building in the city, or redeveloping a building to create the space.

Last year, Blackstone signed a deal to expand at the office by 80,000 square feet, bringing its total at 345 Park to 720,000 square feet. The firm also extended its lease for an additional year, through 2028.

Are you in talks with any potential tenants yet?

We are, and we don’t even deliver it until 2029! When you think about companies that want to be in New York or who are already here today and are looking for the home of their future, there’s been a lot of interest from those tenants in 175 — and we’re talking to some interested in taking 1 million-plus square feet. But I can’t say who they are, for now.
