Crowell & Moring unveils new 71,000 s/f office at Two Manhattan West in Hudson Yards

Manhattan, NY Crowell & Moring has moved its New York office to Two Manhattan West in Hudson Yards.

The new office has 71,000 s/f on two floors of the 58-story office tower designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The firm is the first tenant of the newly finished building.

Over the past five years, Crowell’s New York office has more than doubled in size to approximately 170 lawyers and staff but the move is not just about providing more office space. “We have moved to a better space to suit our growing needs,” said Glen McGorty, managing partner of Crowell’s New York office. “This is an office that speaks to the caliber of our clients, the sophistication of our matters, and the client service excellence that we deliver across our entire firm.”

The office features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, an innovative and efficient design, and modern amenities such as standing desks. The location provides easy access to nearby transit, including major transportation hubs Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall, and iconic destinations, including Madison Square Garden and the High Line. All of the external offices are a standard size, and there is a multi-purpose room that spills out into a two-story reception area with a floating staircase. Took’s Café, named after one of the firm’s founders, Eldon (Took) Crowell, serves as a space for lawyers and staff to gather and build ties.

“This efficiently designed and state of the art space provides the opportunity to collaborate with clients and one another seamlessly in a post-pandemic era,” McGorty said. “The many stand-out features of our new office appeal to the next generation of diverse talent we continue to attract as we actively expand our New York team.”

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth.
