Finally, The National Urban League signed a 57,245 s/f, three-and-a-half-year lease for the entire ninth floor. The historic civil rights organization previously subleased the ninth floor space.

“Our recent leasing momentum is a testament to New York City’s ongoing resurgence in the office sector as well as a validation of our continued investments in 80 Pine’s infrastructure, amenities and common areas,” said Michael Rudin, executive vice president of Rudin Management Company. “The variety and quality of the tenant roster at 80 Pine speaks to Lower Manhattan’s continued appeal to a wide range of creative companies and organizations.”

This recent series of leasing successes follows the completion of the first phase of Rudin’s comprehensive capital improvement program at 80 Pine Street, which included the renovation of the building’s ground floor entrances and lobby. 

Rudin is currently focused on the second phase of the building’s capital program, which includes construction of a dedicated interconnected indoor and outdoor amenity center on the 22nd and 23rd floors. This amenity space will feature a café, lounge, conference facility and a 4,600 s/f outdoor terrace. The renovation program also emphasizes occupant health and wellness measures, including touch-free access points and advanced air filtration technology. This phase is targeted for completion in 2022.
