Sard Verbinnen Takes 2 Floors at Vornado’s Third Ave. Tower

Lee & Associates NYC’s Alan Friedman has arranged a 15-year, 65,068-square-foot lease for Sard Verbinnen & Co. (SVC) at 909 Third Ave. The strategic communications firm is relocating its headquarters from a 50,000-square-foot space at 630 Third Ave. to two floors at the 33-story Vornado Realty Trust property.

“With eight offices in key markets around the world, SVC has a global reach,” said Friedman, who represented the tenant. “This new lease will enable SVC to meet their current and future needs, which is essential in light of their continuing growth.”

SVC offers an array of communications services, including corporate positioning, mergers and acquisitions, crisis communications, public affairs, corporate governance, litigation support and investor relations. Founded in 1992, the firm has more than 200 employees.

Vornado was represented in-house by Edward Riguardi and Ryan Levy.
