 <\/p>\n

Nasdaq Inc. has decided to relocate its global headquarters. The financial services giant will move, starting spring 2019, from downtown Manhattan to its Nasdaq MarketSite location at\u00a04 Times Square<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

4 Times Square, New York (Yardi Matrix)<\/p><\/div>\n

The 15-year, 145,000-square-foot lease signed with the Durst Organization multiplies by a factor of six Nasdaq\u2019s footprint at the property. An extension to its existing 24,000-square-foot MarketSite lease, the new space will feature a state-of-the-art event venue on the 10th<\/sup> floor. Coupled with a 2,100-square-foot outdoor terrace above the iconic Nasdaq Tower, right next to Times Square, the venue\u2019s capacity exceeds 400 people and will host corporate and industry events for Nasdaq\u2019s business partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing together our New York<\/a> employees at our new headquarters allows us to continue to focus on the client experience and further collaborate as a team on new and innovative solutions that meet our clients\u2019 most critical needs.\u00a0This increased presence in the iconic Times Square, New York, will further drive our brand forward, and will offer an unparalleled experience for our clients for years to come,\u201d\u00a0said Adena Friedman, Nasdaq president & chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

The MarketSite relocation is expected to be complete in three years\u2019 time. The expansion efforts are scheduled to begin this summer and are set to end in December 2021. The move-in will be phased, starting from spring 2019 onwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one of the building\u2019s original tenants when it opened in 1999, we are pleased Nasdaq has chosen to consolidate their corporate headquarters and bring their leadership team to\u00a04 Times Square. Nasdaq is one of the world\u2019s most innovative and dynamic exchanges and a recognized global leader in financial technology, and we are excited they have decided to continue to partner with us,\u201d stated Jonathan Durst, president of The Durst Organization.<\/p>\n

Nasdaq\u2019s new global headquarters will act as a center for companies interested in taking advantage of its top location and facilities. As usual, the\u00a04 Times Square\u00a0will host the traditional daily Opening and Closing Market Bell ceremonies. It will also house the Market Intelligence Desk, a team of market professionals whose role is to provide clients with real-time analysis and information. At the same time, both the Nasdaq Tower and Nasdaq Marquee will give companies a vast array of advertising opportunities. Finally, due to the enhanced broadcast and media correspondence facilities, companies will be able to organize interviews and press briefings with global media outlets.<\/p>\n

4 Times Square, previously known as the Cond\u00e9 Nast Building, is one of the most coveted office buildings in Midtown Manhattan<\/a>. Owned by the Durst Organization, the Class A building encompasses 1.8 million square feet. Built in 1999, it has recently gone through a $140 million capital improvement program. The renovated 45,600-square-foot amenity floor houses first-class conference, meeting, and event spaces, as well as a caf\u00e9 and a coffee bar run by Michelin-starred chef Claus Meyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
