Less than a month after RXR Realty entered contract to buy a Downtown office building for $675 million, a health care advertising firm inked a lease there for 55,000 square feet.

The Cement Bloc will occupy the full 15th floor and part of the 16th floor at the 1.2 million-square-foot tower at 32 Old Slip. The tenant plans to consolidate its offices in Chelsea and the Flatiron District into the new Downtown space.
