The Midtown leasing juggernaut has just notched another win with a big expansion by Latham & Watkins at 1285 Sixth Ave.
The global law firm signed for 120,000 square feet at the 1.8 million square-foot tower, which is also home to UBS, Paul Weiss and BBDO. The Latham deal brings the tower to 100% leased.
Latham & Watkins’ move to the RXR-owned tower is pure expansion. The firm is keeping its 435,000 square feet at Rockefeller Group’s nearby 1271 Sixth Ave.
Stefano GiovanniniA CBRE team represented the tenant. RXR’s William Elder and Daniel Birney repped the landlord in-house.
Latham & Watkins managing partner Marc Jaffe said, “Our expansion in our 40th anniversary year reflects our continued momentum and deep commitment to the city.”
Like Park Avenue, which it trails by only a few percentage points, Sixth Avenue from 42nd to 59th Street in recent years has enjoyed a leasing boom driven by major capital reinvestment in late-20th Century office towers.
