BuzzFeed currently occupies about 24,000 square feet at 54 West 21st Street, a building owned by Olmstead. The current asking rent at the Fifth Avenue property is $49 a square foot, the Post said.

BuzzFeed wanted to stay in its existing neighborhood or be on one floor and still have flexibility, sources told the Post. [NYP] –Hayley Kaplan
