WebMD takes 50,000 SF at Worldwide Plaza

WebMD, the online medical resource, has taken 50,000 square feet on the 11th floor of Worldwide Plaza as part of its national expansion plan. WebMD, whose headquarters are located at 111 Eighth Avenue, had conducted an “extensive search throughout Midtown South” for more space before settling on Worldwide Plaza at 825 Eighth Avenue, according to Newmark Knight Frank, whose David Falk and Kyle Ciminelli represented the website in the transaction. Since launching its expansion campaign in 2008, WebMD has signed leases in Chicago and Montreal, and also recently more than doubled its office space in Atlanta, Ga. TRD
