The newest law firm to select Sixth Avenue for a new Big Apple home is international powerhouse Vedder. The firm signed for 49,000 sq. toes, the complete thirty fourth ground, at Rockefeller Group’s 1221 Sixth. The long-term deal brings the former McGraw-Hill building’s 2.6 million sq. toes to 98% leased.
Vedder will transfer from 1633 Broadway in 2027. The firm was represented by a Savills group including David Goldstein, Joseph Learner and Scott Weiss. The landlord was repped by a Cushman & Wakefield group led by Robert Lowe, Paige Engeldrum, Dan Organ and Pierce Hance, with Rockefeller Group’s Marisa Gadlin.

“Vedder is an outstanding fit that will strengthen the building’s tenant roster for many years to come,” Gadlin said.
In truth, 1221 Sixth is surging on all cylinders. Major workplace tenant NBC Universal renewed on 200,000 sq. toes, the Commercial Observer reported earlier this yr. Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse is packed night time and day after 20 years.
Meanwhile, Rock Group is actively pursuing tenants for the tower’s sunken retail plaza.
