The Rudin Family and partner Allianz Real Estate have signed four leases totaling 93,676 square feet at One Battery Park Plaza, a 35-story, 870,000 square-foot office tower in Lower Manhattan.
In the largest of the transactions, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company will occupy a total of 38,187 square feet at the building through a 9,880-square-foot direct lease with Rudin for a portion of the 29th floor and a 28,307-square-foot sublease with Liberty Mutual insurance company spanning the entire 30th floor. Nationwide’s sublease will convert into a direct lease with Rudin at the time of its expiration in November 2025, and run concurrently with its 7.5-year lease on the floor below. Relocating from 7 World Trade Center, Nationwide was represented by Paul Myers and Michael Rizzo at CBRE. The sublandlord, Liberty Mutual, was represented by Cresa’s Mike Mckenna.
Additionally, Rudin signed a new 28,307 square-foot, 16-year lease with law firm Cullen and Dykman for the building’s entire 34th floor. Relocating its headquarters from 44 Wall Street, Cullen and Dykman was represented by Ken Rapp, David Hollander and Andrew Sussman of CBRE.
Rudin has also completed an expansion and extension with the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) for 19,407 square feet on part of the 33rd floor – more than doubling the organization’s footprint at the tower. A tenant since 2019, IRAP is relocating from its current 7,408 square-foot office on the fourth floor. Stephan Steiner of Savills represented IRAP in the 10-year leasing transaction.
