JLL represented tow investment firms in relocating to Park Avenue Tower at 65 E. 55th St.

EQ Office Adds Tech Firm to Park Ave. Tower’s Roster

EQ Office today announced it has signed CLEAR to a new 10-year, 24,640-square-foot lease at Park Avenue Tower. The tenant, which uses biometrics to expedite security processes at airports, stadiums and other high-profile venues, is relocating from 650 Fifth Ave.

CLEAR will occupy the property’s entire 17th floor beginning in late 2018. It will add a portion of the 16th floor in early 2019, following a build-out of the space on both floors.

The tech company is the latest in a series of blue-chip tenants that have signed on following EQ Office’s $40-million renovation program at Park Avenue Tower. Since concluding the program, the landlord has secured 231,000 square feet of new leases.

EQ Office was represented in-house by Simon Wasserberger and Scott Silverstein, and by NKF’s Brian Waterman, Ben Shapiro, Brent Ozarowski and Lance Korman. CLEAR was advised by Jared Horowitz of NKF.
