Fisher Brothers has signed a new 10-year, 59,613 square foot lease with Informa PLC at the company’s 605 Third Avenue asset. The firm will occupy three full floors, the 20th through 22nd, at the 1.1 million square foot, Class-A office tower in Midtown Manhattan. Fisher Brothers recently completed a $25 million capital improvement program of the office tower, with the creation of a new building entrance and lobby, designed by award-winning architect David Rockwell and the Rockwell Group. Informa is an international academic publishing, business intelligence, exhibitions and events business, publicly quoted on the London Stock Exchange and recently acquired US-based Penton Information Services. Informa will relocate in the first quarter of 2018 from multiple locations.
“Informa’s presence in the US has steadily expanded over the last five years. Having acquired Penton in late 2016, we have taken the opportunity to bring five of our New York locations together into a single base. 605 Third Avenue represents a modern, high quality and flexible space, and we are looking forward to creating a new hub for Informa in Midtown that our colleagues can be proud of,” said Geoff Scott, Property Strategy Manager for Informa.
