Deloitte to stay in Brookfield’s 4 WFC

World Financial Center

Accounting firm Deloitte is officially staying put at Brookfield Properties’ 4 World Financial Center, following rumors that a lease renewal was in the works, the Post reported. The direct deal allows Deloitte to keep its 400,000-square-foot space at the building for around $40 per square foot and to expand into another 230,000 square feet. The firm had been subleasing its space from Merrill Lynch, but the deal was set to expire in 2013. Deloitte was reportedly considering a move to New Jersey, which would have been cheaper for Deloitte but potentially very damaging for Brookfield. Deloitte has asked the New York Industrial Development Agency for state and city sales tax breaks for furniture and other finishing touches for the office space. [Post]
