Tishman Speyer announces five new lease agreements at The Spiral totaling 129,500 sq ft, landing tenant occupancy at 81% less than two years since opening. These lease agreements include international financial institution HSBC – which has expanded its lease to include the remaining portions of the double height 29th and 30th floors – along with global tech firm XR Extreme Reach and two investment management firms. The Spiral – located on the west side of Manhattan in New York City – promotes a contemporary workplace where nature becomes an integrated part of the office environment and spatial features are continuously adaptable to the changing needs of its occupants. Cascading landscaped terraces and hanging gardens climb the building in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green ribbon that wraps around the façade and supplies each office floor with readily accessible terraces. Select floors offer a double height amenity space and the option to connect adjacent floors via a grand staircase, suggesting an alternative to elevators and encouraging interaction amongst colleagues. To foster a connection to the outdoors and support The Spiral’s interior foliage, a generous ceiling height and specially selected exterior glass coating enables a deeper incursion of natural light.
