New Mountain Capital signed a lease for about 108,000 square feet at the Paramount Group building, sources told The Real Deal.

A spokesperson for New Mountain Capital declined to comment, and representatives for Paramount Group did not respond to a request for comment.

The company first moved into about 24,000 square feet the Equitable Center at787 Seventh Avenue in 2005. It’s not clear how much space the firm occupies now.

At 1633 Broadway, meanwhile, Albert Behler’s Paramount Group signed the open-source database startup MongoDB to roughly 106,000 square feet in 2017.

A CBRE team of Paul Amrich, Howard Fiddle, Stephen Siegel, Patrice Hayden Meagher, Emily Jones and Robert Hill handles leasing at the building.

In December, the Blackstone Group bought a 10 percent stake in New Mountain Capital for an undisclosed amount. New Mountain is reportedly planning to raise a $1 billion fund to focus on minority investments.
