RFR Caps 2025 with Quartet of Full-Floor Leases at 17 State St.

RFR announced The Cochran Firm has signed a 10-year, 13,757-square-foot full-floor lease at 17 State St. in Lower Manhattan. The firm reported a record-breaking year at 17 State, with 250,000-plus square feet of leases signed in 2025.

“17 State St. has always been a sought-after address,” said AJ Camhi. “The record-breaking year comes as plans for a new amenity center were very well received by the market and the pre-built suites have been filling up at a remarkable clip.”

With construction nearing completion on the new Liberty Lounge & Conference Center amenity, and updates to the popular public plaza underway, RFR welcomed a spate of new full-floor tenants, signing four tenants to 56,586 square feet of space. In addition to The Cochran Firm, RFR executed three full-floor leases: Bright Power, a New York-based provider of sustainable energy and water management for commercial building owners and developers; Shaub, Ahmuty, Citrin & Spratt, a prominent law firm with offices in New York, Westchester and Long Island; and Mashreq Bank, a tenant at 17 State St. since 2017, which renewed and expanded its footprint with a new 10-year, 13,757-square-foot lease.

RFR was represented in-house by Camhi, Paul Milunec and Ryan Silverman and supported by a JLL team consisting of Mitchell Konsker, John Wheeler, Andrew Coe, and Margaux Kelleher on all 2025 transactions. The Cochran Firm was represented by Derrick Ades, Jared London, Christopher Hogan and Munish Viralam of CBRE. Bright Power, Inc. was represented by Jonathan Fein of Cushman & Wakefield; and Shaub, Ahmuty, Citrin & Spratt LLP was represented by Ben Shapiro, Bill Levitsky and Matthew Augarten of Newmark.
