Kaufman Group. “New York City remains an important hub for our global business – we look forward to partnering with a highly regarded landlord and capitalizing on our new space to continue attracting and retaining the industry’s best talent.”

Seventeen by Inspire, the building’s exclusive amenity floor, provides the perfect space to step away from the desk, collaborate with colleagues, grab a coffee, or participate in onsite fitness and wellness classes.

The 47-story, class A tower’s open and airy floorplates and modern infrastructure accommodate a variety of workspaces. At street-level, 1177 Avenue of the Americas’ renovated lobby features 60-ft. ceilings and an on-site café.
