Cushman & Wakefield announced today that EMI Music Publishing, the world’s largest
music publisher, has leased 65,493 square feet at 75 Ninth Ave. The company will relocate from
810 Seventh Ave. and 1290 Avenue of the Americas.
EMI Music Publishing signed a 10-year lease at 75 Ninth Ave., located between
15th and 16th Streets. It will occupy a portion of the fourth floor at
the building, also known as the Chelsea Market Building. Built in 1920, 75 Ninth Ave. is an
eight-story office building totaling approximately one million square feet.
Cushman & Wakefield brokerage professionals Gus Field and Curtis Brown represented EMI
Music Publishing in its site selection and in lease negotiations with the building’s
owner, Jamestown. David Falk and Nick Berger of Newmark Knight Frank, exclusive leasing agents
for 75 Ninth Ave., represented Jamestown.
“This was an exceptional opportunity for EMI Music Publishing to consolidate its
operations and employees into one location in a neighborhood known for its energetic and
creative atmosphere,” said Mr. Field, an executive vice president at Cushman &
Wakefield.
“The building’s successful transformation has attracted many of the top media
and communication firms in the city including The Food Network, NY1 News, Oxygen Media, and
Major League Baseball Productions,” said David Falk, executive vice president and
principal of Newmark Knight Frank. “We are excited to add industry leader EMI Music
Publishing to the tenant roster.”
“Chelsea Market was an attractive option from a functional, operational and geographic
standpoint,” said Mr. Brown, a director at Cushman & Wakefield. “EMI Music
Publishing will fit well into the media-related tenant mix.”
EMI Music Publishing owns and licenses the publishing rights to music by some of the
world’s leading recording artists, including Beyonce, James Blunt, Kelly Clarkson,
Counting Crows, Eminem, Goo Goo Dolls, Alicia Keys and Norah Jones, among hundreds of
others.
