The Stagwell Group is taking more than 83,000 square feet at 1 World Trade Center.

The investment firm inked a 13-year lease for the 62nd and 63rd floors of the tower, Crain’s reported. Stagwell, which was founded by former Microsoft executive Mark Penn, plans to move four of its subsidiaries — SKDKnickerbocker, PMX Agency, Code and Theory and Harris Insights — into the space. The company will have additional space to move more of its companies in the future.
