“Our incredible first quarter – likely the best in our entire history – has been driven by large, long-term commitments from sophisticated companies, the ultimate response to the false narrative that AI is shrinking the workforce in New York City,” said Marc Holliday, Chairman and CEO, SL Green. “This momentum makes clear that New York City will be a net beneficiary of growth in Tech and AI, continuing to attract leading companies that employ top level talent that is not easily replaced with computers, and benefitting from increased productivity and innovation.”
One Madison Avenue is the most ambitious adaptive reuse project in New York City, uniquely located overlooking Madison Square Park. Exemplifying the innovation needed to create 21st-century office spaces while preserving historical context, SL Green and KPF transformed the existing nine-story podium into a flexible Class-A office in support of a new 550,000 square foot tower above. One Madison’s tenant roster includes global technology, AI and financial services firms such as IBM, Franklin Templeton Companies, Palo Alto Networks, FanDuel Group and Sigma Computing.
One Madison Avenue’s prominence reflects its position as the preeminent example of a future-forward workplace with elevated wellness-driven amenities. It includes state-of-the-art HVAC that circulates
“One Madison is the perfect manifestation of our platform, meeting the market demand for beautifully designed, innovatively amenitized and expertly managed trophy office space,” added Steven Durels, SL Green’s Director of Leasing and Real Property. “It’s no wonder the building has proven to be a magnet for leading financial and tech firms alike, and Harvey AI’s expansion is the ultimate endorsement of our future-forward product.”
Harvey AI, a domain-specific AI for legal and professional services, will now occupy a total of 185,326 square feet at the building.
Harvey AI was represented in the transaction by Joseph Messina and Todd Stracci of Jones Lang LaSalle. The landlord was represented by Paul Glickman, Alex Chudnoff, Ben Bass, and Diana Biasotti of Jones Lang LaSalle.
