The renovation also added 160,000 square feet of food and beverage amenities, including a full-service restaurant on the second floor. Tenants also have access to a 35,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center; 20,000 square feet of conferencing space; and 80,000 square feet of adaptable workspace.<\/p>\n<p>Since its renovation work at Penn 1, Vornado managed to lease out 700,000 square feet in the 57-story building.
