AI Platform Rilla Leases 57K SF in Williamsburg

Global Holdings has signed RillaVoice Inc., an AI-powered conversational intelligence platform for field teams, to a 57,350-square-foot, 10-year lease for the entire eighth-floor penthouse at 25 Kent, which features close to 4,000 square feet of private outdoor space. The deal is reportedly the largest office lease signed in Williamsburg, and among the largest in Brooklyn, since the beginning of last year, when Global Holdings assumed primary management of 25 Kent. Rilla was represented by Cooper Weisman and Ryan Gessin of Newmark.

“Brooklyn has become one of the most dynamic and creative technology hubs in the country, and 25 Kent sits at the center of that transformation,” said Craig Panzirer, SVP and director of leasing at Global Holdings. “Rilla’s commitment reflects the accelerating momentum we’re seeing from AI and innovation-driven companies who want a workspace that matches their ambition.”

Global Holdings was represented by Panzirer and Alex Radmin, along with Jordan Gosin, Will Grover, and Drew Wiley of Newmark.
