**Steptoe LLP Signs 15-Year Lease at 1133 Avenue of the Americas**
International law firm Steptoe LLP has signed a 15-year lease for 57,988 square feet across three full floors at The Durst Organization’s 1133 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan.
Michelle Levin, managing partner of Steptoe’s New York office, expressed enthusiasm about the firm’s expansion: “We are in growth mode in New York and have been looking to expand our footprint to match our expanded capabilities. We like the Bryant Park neighborhood in Midtown — it positions us right in the center of the city and is the ideal location as we grow our presence. 1133 Avenue of the Americas has the space, resources, and facilities that we and any world-class law firm would need to operate in the heart of the world’s financial capital.”
The Durst Organization was represented in-house by Rocco Romeo and Nora Caliban. Steptoe was represented by Timothy Dempsey and Greg Maurer-Hollaender of CBRE. This transaction brings the 1.1-million-square-foot office tower to 90% occupancy.
