Piper Sandler executives from New York will work in the new space, though the firm’s website still lists a New York office.

The 20-story Esperanté building, at 222 Lakeview Avenue, was completed in 1989. It’s part of 

Stephen Ross’ expansive downtown West Palm office portfolio. His Related Companies purchased half of the ownership stake in the building for an undisclosed price in 2021.
