Mizuho to Fill 411K-SF at 1271 Ave. of the Americas

Mizuho Americas will expand its space at 1271 Ave. of the Americas by 270,000 square feet to a total of 411,000 square feet at Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan.

“This commitment, as well as last year’s decision by Major League Baseball to relocate to the building, as well as the high level of interest from other prospective tenants, demonstrates the market’s positive reception to the ongoing renovations to this iconic asset,” said Ed Guiltinan, senior vice president and head of leasing in New York for building owner Rockefeller Group.

Mizuho announced its initial lease of 141,000 square feet in June 2017.  Mizuho will begin to take possession of its space in 2019. In 2016, Rockefeller Group started a $600 million redevelopment of 1271, designed by the architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners.
