National Women’s Soccer League moving headquarters to 551 Fifth Ave.

Midtown north of 42nd Street, home to both the NFL and MLB headquarters, will soon have another sports front office: the National Women’s Soccer League, which signed a lease at the Feil Organization’s landmarked 551 Fifth Ave., known as the Fred D. French Building.

The NWSL is relocating and expanding from 292 Madison Ave. Its new digs will have 21,000 square feet on a full floor, twice as much as at its old address. The asking rent was $58 per square foot.

Feil commercial leasing head Andrew Wiener hailed the move as  a “new chapter in this iconic, Art Deco-style tower’s legacy.” Lauren Lopez, the NWSL’s s chief people & culture officer, said the new headquarters “reflects the tremendous growth” of the league.”

The building is nearly 90% leased.

The NWSL, which comprises 16 teams, moved to New York from Chicago in 2022.

The league was repped by CBRE’s Conor Denihan and Patrick Moroney. Feil was repped in-house by Wiener, Kevin Driscoll, and Henry Korzec.

The Feil Organization meanwhile is busy as well at 140 W. 57th St., another office landmark which it’s converting to residential with BLDG Management Co. and the Nakash family.

The partners plan a 47-unit luxury condominium behind the building’s Neo-Gothic facade. Construction will start this spring and be finished by the end of 2026.
