Dorn\u00a0represented Genius Sports. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/newyork\/news\/2023\/09\/13\/genius-sports-north-american-headquarters-midtown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">asking rent was $102 per square foot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Durst completed a $150 million renovation at its 530,000-square-foot office tower, which included upgrades to the building\u2019s lobby, the addition of a new tenant amenity space, and the installation of smart windows that adjust the amount of light that comes in via the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenius Sports, like many companies, is drawn to 825 for its ideal location; modern, fully renovated offices; and the brand-new amenity floor that offers indoor and outdoor spaces for tenants to work, host events and socialize,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cGenius Sports also chose the building because we were able to deliver a fully move-in ready space through our DurstReady program. They arrived at the building to a beautiful, fully furnished, fully wired office custom-built for their team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c825 Third Ave. is being modernized from top to bottom, and its transformation into a trophy asset is nearing completion,\u201d\u00a0Jonathan (Jody) Durst, president of\u00a0The Durst Organization, said. \u201cGenius Sports is in good company at 825, joining tenants that have pre-leased more than 100,000 square feet of space in just the past two months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tenant roster at 825 Third Ave. already includes names such as\u00a0Toyota Tsusho America, the\u00a0National Bank of Egypt,\u00a0and law firm\u00a0Beveridge &amp; Diamond.<\/p>\n<p><em>By visiting\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"
