L&L secured a 15-year extension with Aaronson Rappaport Feinstein & Deutsch, LLP to keep the firm’s headquarters at the Grand Central district tower through at least 2042. A tenant since 2010, Aaronson Rappaport will maintain the same 42,764 square feet it currently occupies on the entire 5th and 6th floors. Founded in 1993 by four seasoned trial attorneys, Aaronson Rappaport has grown into a leading litigation firm with more than 80 attorneys.
Bond Schoeneck & King also signed a 7-year lease extension at 600 Third. A tenant at the building since 2014, the firm’s New York City office will remain in the 12,505 square feet it currently occupies across the entire 22nd floor of the building through at least 2033. For over a century, the firm has remained committed to delivering exceptional legal services while upholding a tradition of excellence and integrity.
Originally built in 1970, the striking, 575,254-square-foot tower occupies the entire western blockfront between East 39th and East 40th Streets. L&L, which owns 600 Third in partnership with BlackRock, has undertaken a series of renovations to the tower, including lobby upgrades and building system improvements. L&L also redesigned and renovated 600 Third Avenue’s plaza to create a welcoming public green space with pathways that encourage pedestrians to circulate and relax.
