“It was important to maintain the quality of the existing environment, and we found that the panoramic views, efficiency of the building, and overall economics of the lease at 140 Broadway couldn’t be matched,” Schwartzenberg told the New York Observer.

The 1.25 million-square-foot building was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1967 and is located between Liberty and Cedar streets in the Financial District. [NYO]Julie Strickland
