KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm, will relocate its headquarters to Brookfield Properties’ Two Manhattan West, a new building in Midtown Manhattan’s West Side of New York City.
When construction on KPMG’s new space is completed in late 2025, it will provide the firm’s 5,500-plus New York-based partners and professionals with an enhanced workplace experience through an innovative and sustainable design that fosters collaboration, the firm said.
“KPMG has been based in New York since our inception on August 2, 1897, and we are proud to show our continuing commitment to this great city with our exciting new headquarters in Two Manhattan West in the vibrant Manhattan West neighborhood,” said Paul Knopp, KPMG U.S. chair and CEO. “As we celebrate our 125th anniversary and think about our firm’s future, this is an incredible opportunity to bring our people together in a custom-designed office space that will showcase our firm’s commitment to culture, innovation, wellness and sustainability.”
KPMG currently occupies space at 345 Park Avenue, its headquarters, as well as 560 Lexington Avenue and 1350 Sixth Avenue. KPMG will lease approximately 450,000 square feet in the new 58-story Two Manhattan West building. Two Manhattan West is connected to Moynihan Train Hall via a protected crosswalk and offers direct access to the High Line, the Shed, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station/Penn District. It is also close to Chelsea Piers and easily accessible to other parts of the city.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Two Manhattan West is targeting LEED Gold designation and features energy-efficient design, optimization of electrical service performance, sustainable materials, maximization of natural light, stormwater harvesting and recycling and the latest in indoor air quality. The 58-story, 1.9 million square foot skyscraper is currently under construction and slated for completion in early 2023.
