World Trade Center now rivals Midtown’s prime corridors as leasing frenzy boosts asking rents
Twenty-five years since 9/11, asking rents for large blocks of space at the World Trade Center nearly rival those on Park and Sixth avenues, Midtown’s prime corridors, a Post survey found.
When Moody’s moves out of 7 World Trade Center at the end of 2027, Larry Silverstein expects to fetch rents of up to $140 per square foot for 700,000 square feet, said Jeremy Moss, the landlord’s executive vice-president for leasing.
Existing office towers, including 1 WTC, recently broke the 95% leased mark, compared with the Manhattan average of 85% and a downtown average of 80%.
