Cushman & Wakefield today announced that OppenheimerFunds, Inc. has signed a new lease for
its New York offices to remain at Two World Financial Center.
OppenheimerFunds signed a 15-year lease for 235,342 square feet on the entire 11th, 12th,
14th, 16th and a portion of the 10th floors, which it currently subleases.
Cushman & Wakefield's Stuart Romanoff, Amy Fox and Robert Constable, along with Maureen
Kelly of the firm's Consulting group, advised OppenheimerFunds in its site search and in lease
negotiations. The building's owner, Brookfield Properties, was represented in-house by Jerry
Larkin and Duncan McCuaig.
"OppenheimerFunds has long been committed to Downtown, and this lease marks the
continued resurgence of the area," said Mr. Romanoff, an executive vice president at
Cushman & Wakefield. "Brookfield's World Financial Center is unique. Not only is it
one of the city's premier Class A office properties, it is a center of energy for the cultural
and economic renaissance underway in Downtown Manhattan. This neighborhood is clearly an
exciting place for business."
