BARK Opts for Single-Floor Headquarters at 120 Broadway

The Original BARK Company, the company behind BarkBox, signed a 15-year, 52,000-square-foot office lease at Silverstein Properties’ 120 Broadway in the Financial District. BARK is slated to take occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2022. 

BARK launched in 2012 with BarkBox, a monthly subscription of themed toys and all-natural treats. Currently located on multiple smaller floors at 221 Canal St., the company wanted a large single-floor headquarters with an optimal layout to accommodate it growing team. 

Joseph Artusa, SVP of Leasing at Silverstein Properties, said, “BARK’s move to the building reflects a larger trend we are seeing of creative and technology companies with younger employees moving to the easily accessible Downtown neighborhood as it continues to evolve into a lively destination for both work and entertainment.” 

Artusa and Silverstein Properties’ Camille McGratty, and Newmark’s Scott Klau, Brian Waterman and Erik Harris represented ownership. Savills’ Greg Taubin represented BARK.
