Coinbase plans to move its New York headquarters to a more spacious office at One Madison in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. This decision marks the end of its tenure at 55 Hudson Yards. The cryptocurrency exchange will soon occupy a 67,208-square-foot space, doubling the size of its previous office.
Details of the Lease and Financials
The company entered into an eleven-year lease agreement earlier this month, though the financial terms of this deal remain undisclosed. Market comparisons suggest a significant rental rate, given that similar spaces in the building were leased at around $170 per square foot. In contrast, Coinbase’s former location at Hudson Yards had rent figures just above $100 per square foot.
The transition comes at a favourable time for tenants seeking new agreements in Manhattan. Reports indicate that developers are offering substantial concessions to fill office spaces, driven by a desire to reduce the high vacancy rates throughout the city.
Coinbase’s relocation strategy follows amidst regulatory challenges and a recent uptick in its financial performance. Despite facing legal pressures from federal agencies, the company’s profits have rebounded, accompanied by a significant rise in its stock value over the past year.
