The tenant is one of three that signed at the nonprofit foundation since January. The new leases total 100,000 square feet and average $150 per square foot. Roughly 50,000 square feet remain at the 27-story office and retail tower, which Crown and Highgate acquired for $1.3 billion last year, as previously reported. Zeckendorf Development is said to be another new recently signed tenant at the 600,000-square-foot site.
