Office Leasing Expands at Durst’s 1133 Avenue

Major Office Tenant Expands

According to the Commercial Cafe, ING Group, a global banking leader based in Amsterdam, has renewed and increased its lease at 1133 Avenue of the Americas. The financial firm committed to an additional 21,515 KSF, bringing its total presence to nearly 154 KSF across the building’s seventh through 11th floors. The office leasing transaction, second only to Baruch College’s 162,300 KSF lease at 63 Madison Ave. for the month, underscores strong demand from established tenants in Midtown.

Why It Matters

The office leasing expansion not only secures ING Group’s tenancy but also highlights the appeal of Durst’s Bryant Park-adjacent property. The building features Class A amenities, including a notable LED sculpture installation, updated elevator systems, and exclusive landscaped terraces with green roofs. Tenants such as Bank of America, the National Basketball Players Association, and Charles Schwab also call 1133 Avenue home.

What’s Next

With continued high-profile renewals and expansions, office leasing activity in Manhattan shows resilience. ING Group’s commitment signals confidence in both the location and the future of Class A properties. Durst expects that momentum at the 1.1M KSF tower will continue to attract and retain prominent tenants looking for modern, sustainable space in the Bryant Park district. This comes amid a broader strengthening of Durst’s position in Midtown, following a recent refinancing deal that resulted in a $146M equity windfall tied to its Times Square holdings, further reinforcing the firm’s financial flexibility for strategic leasing and development.
