Representatives for Knotel declined to say how long the leases were for and what clients would occupy the spaces.

Knotel, a rival to WeWork, landed another new lease earlier in May for 23,000 square feet in Savanna’s Chelsea building at 31 West 27th Street. The company also inked a lease for 24,000 square feet in Soho at 584 Broadway in January.

It has leased more than 1.1 million square feet over the past two years in New York, San Francisco and London and was recently valued at $500 million.
