One of the Big Four is getting even bigger.
Accounting firm Deloitte is expanding to new digs at 1221 Sixth Avenue, in a 98,000-square-foot deal with Rockefeller Group.
Deloitte will occupy the full 39th and 40th floors at the 51-story, 2.65 million-square-foot tower formerly known as the McGraw-Hill Building, the New York Post reported. Asking rent on the highest floors exceeds $100 per square foot, according to the newspaper.
Cushman & Wakefield’s [TRDataCustom] John Cefaly represented Deloitte, according to the Post, while Rockefeller Group was represented in-house by Ed Guiltinan. Rockefeller Group owns a 55 percent stake in the tower, and China Investment Corp. owns the rest, having bought their stake from Canada Pension Plan for over $1 billion last year, as The Real Deal first reported.
Deloitte is keeping its headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where it occupies 430,000 square feet. [NYP] — Hiten Samtani
