Overview
- UTA announced Monday that it has leased 100,948 square feet on the Empire State Building’s 32nd through 35th floors to create a single East Coast headquarters.
- The new space will consolidate the agency’s roughly 81,000 square feet spread across three Manhattan offices into a larger, unified workplace that UTA says reflects its growth.
- Reports put the asking rent at about $96 per square foot and the relocation is planned for July 2027, giving the agency time to design flexible floor plates and tenant amenities.
- JLL brokers Mitchell Konsker, Benjamin Bass and Harrison Potter represented UTA while ESRT handled negotiations in-house with support from a Newmark team, and UTA’s COO Bob Roback framed the deal as a long-term New York commitment.
- The lease reinforces Empire State Realty Trust’s repositioning strategy after a multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar renovation that left the tower roughly 96% leased and could boost demand signals for high-quality Midtown office space.
