Manhattan, NY Rudin has finalized a lease agreements totaling 40,345 s/f with flexible workplace company, Industrious, and global architecture firm and design studio, Woods Bagot, at One Battery Park Plaza. The addition of these tenants brings the 35-story, 800,000 s/f office tower to 99% leased.

“Our ability to achieve virtually full occupancy at One Battery Park Plaza speaks to the strength of the property and the success of Rudin’s long-term ownership,” said Kevin Daly, vice president of office leasing at Rudin. “The addition of best-in-class tenants like Industrious and Woods Bagot reflects Lower Manhattan’s enduring appeal to New York’s entrepreneurs and visionaries.”
