RCN Joins Roster at Jamestown’s Telecom Hub

Jamestown said Thursday that telecom provider RCN has joined the tenant roster at 325 Hudson St. in Lower Manhattan. The provider of high-speed internet, digital TV, and phone services signed a 20-year lease to take over a series of meet-me rooms in the space, allowing telecommunications companies to physically connect and exchange data without incurring local loop fees.

“As a market leader, RCN will further reinforce 325 Hudson’s position as a premier core intersection site, and a nexus in New York’s telecommunications system,” said Michael Phillips, president of Jamestown. The property, which Jamestown purchased in 2012, has increasingly attracted high-tech companies and colocation firms in recent years.

RCN was represented by Robert Meyers of CBRE in the deal, which was finalized in June. Jamestown handled the lease through its internal leasing team.
