Manhattan, NY Lee & Associates NYC has represented global life sciences strategy consultancy, LifeSciences Consultants, in a new lease at PENN 1. The lease consists of 4,092 s/f on the 20th floor of the building. This is LifeSciences Consultants first office location in the United States, following locations in Milan, Mexico City, and Mumbai.

“LifeSciences Consultants decided on PENN 1 due to it being an iconic building in the Penn District and they wanted to make a statement given this is their first US location,” said King, managing director at Lee & Associates NYC. “The space was delivered in pristine plug-and-play condition, and PENN 1 offers some of the best amenities in Manhattan, which was an important factor for employee recruitment. Additionally, the building is near Penn Station and Hudson Yards, offering easy and convenient access to visit their clients. It was an absolute pleasure working with the entire Vornado leasing team who really bent over backwards to accommodate the unique needs of our client.”
