Investment bank and wealth manager Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. announced plans to relocate its headquarters to 32 Old Slip in Lower Manhattan.
The firm, a subsidiary of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., will occupy approximately 220,000 square feet across six full floors of the 36-story building, with a phased move-in targeted to begin in the first quarter of 2028. The new headquarters will bring colleagues closer together and offer state-of-the-art workplace infrastructure, a dedicated conference center and expanded hospitality for clients and guests.
“For 145 years, Oppenheimer has grown alongside Wall Street, and our new headquarters at 32 Old Slip in Lower Manhattan reaffirms our commitment to the area,” said Robert Lowenthal, president and CEO of Oppenheimer. “This move is an investment in our culture, bringing our teams together on six floors with modern technology and a dedicated space to welcome clients. In doing so, we are building a workplace that honors our heritage and is designed for what comes next.”
Oppenheimer’s roots in the Wall Street neighborhood date back to 1881, when the firm was established at 2 Wall Street. The new headquarters is a short distance from its existing offices and blocks away from where it was founded. The firm was represented by JLL in the transaction with building owner RXR and will partner with Gensler to design the new space.
The layout is intended to make it easier for colleagues across businesses to meet, exchange ideas and work together, both through scheduled meetings and everyday interactions. Throughout the office, Gensler’s design will combine natural light, open gathering spaces and integrated digital tools to create an environment that supports productivity, collaboration and innovation. A dedicated conference center, equipped for both in-person and hybrid engagement, will accommodate client meetings and firmwide events. Expanded hospitality spaces will provide additional settings to welcome clients and colleagues visiting from around the world.
