Everest Group Signs 66K-SF Midtown Office with Durst 

Everest Group, a global underwriting provider for property, casualty, and specialty reinsurance and insurance solutions, will relocate its NYC offices to 1155 Avenue of the Americas, leasing 66,444 square feet across floors 7-9 and exclusive access to a 6,000-square-foot terrace. The move follows a $130 million renovation, boosting the building’s occupancy from 53% in 2019 to 93%.  

“The Durst Organization invested in a large-scale renovation of 1155 Avenue of the Americas to create a highly efficient and desirable workplace, and to attract the next generation of best-in-class tenants,” said Jody Durst, president of The Durst Organization. The building, a 42-story office tower in Midtown, features retail and office tenants like Global Relay, IMA New York, Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, Baird, Cornell University, and Verizon. 

The Durst Organization was represented in-house by Tom Bow, Rocco Romeo, and Nora Caliban. Eric Deutsch and Jared Freede of CBRE represented Everest.
