The starting rent in the deal was in the mid-$60s per square foot, according to CompStak.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the tenant will be relocating its headquarters from its current location at TH Real Estate’s 470 Park Avenue South. CreditSights occupies about 20,00 square feet there on a lease set to expire in late 2021.

Savills Studley’s Nick Farmakis represented CreditSights in the deal. A Cushman & Wakefield team led by Tara Stacom handles leasing at the 981,000-square-foot property at 2 Park Avenue. Neither broker responded to requests for comment.
