United Talent Agency Will Relocate NYC Offices to Empire State Building

United Talent Agency (UTA) and Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. announced that the agency will move its New York offices to the Empire State Building next summer. The new office will feature 100,948 square feet across four floors and will house the agency’s filmed entertainment, creators, news, publishing, theatre, music, speakers, sports, brand advisory and executive search businesses.

“We are pleased to welcome United Talent Agency to the ‘World’s Most Famous Building’ and to support the firm’s continued growth,” said Ryan Kass, EVP, co-head of real estate and chief revenue officer at ESRT. “The Empire State Building fosters collaboration, attracts top talent, enhances the employee experience, and is a premier destination for the world’s most innovative and influential businesses.”

Mitchell Konsker, Benjamin Bass and Harrison Potter of JLL represented UTA in the lease negotiations. Jordan Berger, Shanae Ursini, and Kerry Lavelle of ESRT and Scott Klau, Erik Harris, Neil Rubin, Brent Ozarowski, Zachary Weil and Cole Gendels of Newmark represented the property owner.
