The hospital signed a 15-year lease extension for 98,913 s/f of space at the class A, 2.9 million-square-foot commercial office building owned by Google Inc.

Owner Google, was represented by Matthew Weir, vice president, with Taconic Investment Partners, along with Kenneth Rapp, vice chairman; David Hollander, executive vice president; and Doug Lehman, first vice president, with CBRE Inc.

"The property remains an ideal location, featuring a private street entrance for the health-care provider, along with above-standard electricity and emergency back up power, tenant controlled HVAC and high ceilings. The Google Building allows Beth Israel to offer a caring, comfortable environment for its patients, and a facility that supports the work of Beth Israel's doctors and medical care providers."
