One Vanderbilt gets a pricey new tenant

One Vanderbilt has signed its first office tenants since TD Bank came on board two years ago — inking a deal with DZ Bank and its affiliate, DVB Bank, the No. 2 bank in Germany.
The firms signed separate leases for the tower’s entire 26th floor, a combined 35,550 square feet, sources said.
Asking rents were $135 a square foot.
SL Green’s $3.1 billion tower recently began vertical construction in Midtown Manhattan, next to bustling Grand Central Terminal.
The bank leases come at an important time for the project, which has been looking for office-lease momentum ever since ground was broken.
SL Green also scored a coup in April by signing superchef Daniel Boulud for an 11,000-square-foot restaurant complex on One Vanderbilt’s second floor, overlooking East 42nd Street.
“It’s a unique space,” Boulud told The Post at the time. It will boast a 110- foot-high ceiling at the ground-floor entrance and a bar that will seem to be “floating in space.”
At the sidewalk level of the KPF-designed tower, Boulud will also have an Épicerie Boulud grab-and-go outlet — just like the ones he operates at the World Trade Center and near Lincoln Center.
TD Bank’s lease is for 200,000 square feet.
My colleague Lois Weiss reported earlier this month that McKinsey & Co. is “seriously” looking at a lease for 250,000 square feet through its CBRE brokers.

One Vanderbilt Gains Momentum as SL Green Signs DZ BANK and DVB Bank, Two of Germany’s Leading Financial Institutions

Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank (“DZ BANK”) and DVB Bank SE (“DVB Bank”) have signed new leases to locate their New York offices at One Vanderbilt Avenue, the 58-story skyscraper currently being constructed next to Grand Central Terminal. Each tenant signed separate, 15-year leases which in combination cover the entire 26th floor of 35,382 square feet. DZ BANK and DVB will join TD Bank, which has signed on to anchor approximately 200,000 square feet of space in One Vanderbilt. Signed three years before opening, these leases build on One Vanderbilt’s momentum and further solidify its status as the premier new office destination in New York for leading companies from around the world.
One Vanderbilt construction is on schedule for completion in 2020. Since SL Green broke ground on the 1,401 foot building in October 2016, workers have poured 4,200 cubic yards of concrete into the building’s foundation, which marked the largest single continuous pour in New York City history. After foundation work was completed, steel erection began in July 2017 and will utilize 25,000 tons of domestically-fabricated structural steel. To date, over 1,500 tons of steel has been erected and steel fabrication has been completed through the 39th floor. Two tower cranes are now fully operational and the steel superstructure is now rising above grade.
Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) Associates, One Vanderbilt will anchor the modernization of the Midtown business district, encompassing an entire city block, bounded by Madison and Vanderbilt Avenues to the west and east, and East 43rd and East 42nd Streets to the north and south. Expected to achieve both LEED Gold under version 4.0 and WELL certification, the trophy tower will feature floor-to-ceiling slab heights ranging from 14'6" to 24', column-free floor plates, stunning 360-degree views through floor-to-ceiling windows and best-in-class infrastructure. It will provide tenants with a combination of amenities unrivaled in New York City, including a 30,000-square-foot tenant-only amenity floor with outdoor terrace. In partnership with celebrated Chef Daniel Boulud, One Vanderbilt will offer a world-class 11,000 square-foot restaurant with private dining opportunities. Immediately adjacent to the city's most important transit hub, One Vanderbilt will provide direct connection to the Grand Central Terminal transit network.
