LinkedIn Inks Sixth Expansion at Midtown Landmark

For the sixth time since 2011, LinkedIn has inked an expansion lease at the Empire State Building. The deal for an additional 30,165 square feet brings LinkedIn’s total footprint to 312,947 square feet across eight floors of Empire State Realty Trust’s flagship property.

“We are proud to partner with LinkedIn as they continue to grow at the Empire State Building,” says Thomas P. Durels, EVP, real estate for ESRT. “We have created a superior work environment that enhances tenants’ results through better employee productivity, talent recruitment, and retention.” In all, LinkedIn employs more than 1,000 at the Empire State Building location.

Sacha Zarba and Lauren Crowley of CBRE represented LinkedIn in the lease negotiations. Landlord representation was provided by ESRT’s Ryan Kass and Shanae Ursini.
