CoStar expands with new Midtown office

Real estate data company CoStar is expanding its New York City office presence, according to Crain’s, more than doubling its space with a 12,000-square-foot office at 1177 Sixth Avenue between 45th and 46th streets. Although the company had been on the hunt for raw space it could build out, CoStar eventually settled on the space, which sits among the building’s upper-level floors. Although the rent is unclear, asking rents for similar space in that building range from $75 to $85 per square foot. CoStar will be leaving its current New York City office at 420 Lexington Avenue, where it had leased 5,000 square feet. [Crain’s]
