Meow Wolf Signs 20-Year Lease at Seaport’s Pier 17 for First East Coast Location

Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. said Tuesday it signed a new 20-year agreement with Meow Wolf, an immersive arts and entertainment company, to lease nearly 75,000 square feet at Pier 17 across multiple floors. This will be Meow Wolf’s seventh permanent exhibit and its first on the East Coast.

Meow Wolf New York is expected to drive millions of visitors of all ages to the Seaport annually and represents another step in Seaport Entertainment Group’s plan to revitalize the historic waterfront neighborhood in Downtown Manhattan.

“Meow Wolf’s unique approach to storytelling through art, and support of local artists, is perfectly aligned with the Seaport’s history as a hub for creative invention and artistry in New York City,” said Anton Nikodemus, chairman, president and CEO of Seaport Entertainment.

CBRE represented both sides in the lease, with Mary Ann Tighe, Gerry Miovski, Evan Haskell, Brett Shannon, Zachary Price and Jacob Rosenthal representing Seaport Entertainment and Cassie Durand, Sacha Zarba and Aylin Gucalp representing Meow Wolf.
