Philo TV Opts for 1 Willoughby Square for First NYC Outpost

JEMB Realty has signed an 8,100-square-foot lease with San Francisco-based Philo TV at 1 Willoughby Square, Brooklyn’s tallest office building. This represents Philo TV’s first official New York City office as the firm examined its options to maximize convenience for its employees, who reside mainly in Brooklyn.

In addition, Philo TV was attracted to 1WSQ for its LEED certifications, outdoor spaces, panoramic city views, access to the recently completed Abolitionist Place park at the base of the building and new construction attributes like oversized windows and layout flexibility.

A CBRE team of Paul Amrich, Neil King, Zachary Price, Alex D’amario and James Ackerson represented JEMB. Philo TV was represented by Catherine Vilar of the Kaufman Organization.

“This is Brooklyn’s premier office destination and it’s attracting very high-quality tenants, even in a difficult market,” said Amrich. “1 Willoughby Square has set a new standard for office space in Brooklyn and its success is proof of that.”
