“We are extremely pleased Nasdaq has increased their presence at One Five One,” said Jonathan (Jody) Durst, president of The Durst Org. “Nasdaq is utilizing their 10^th floor terrace for their MarketSite events. Their new terrace on the 28^th floor will give their employees and guests more opportunities to take their meetings and events outside in the heart of Manhattan. Each of the building’s terraces offers a different vantage point, whether it is overlooking the Times Square Ball, Bryant Park, the bustling Durst beehives at One Bryant Park or downtown to One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty. Tenants can take in the sites of New York from the other side of the glass.”
