The deal also reflects the organization\u2019s commitment to downtown and to New York City at large, where we\u2019re on pace to have our strongest year of office leasing activity since 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n The lease was for 10 years at $60 per square foot, according to Newmark.<\/p>\n \u201cNew York is central to The Guardian\u2019s U.S. strategy, and our move to 100 Broadway reflects a long-term commitment in America, our current expansion, and our journalism,\u201d Nataki Williams<\/strong>, The Guardian\u2018s senior vice president for finance and operations in the U.S., said in a statement to CO. \u201cThe building\u2019s blend of historic character and future-ready workspace aligns well with how we operate today and how we expect to grow in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n As one example of that, The Guardian\u2018s new space will include a podcast studio.<\/p>\n New York Business Journal was first to report the lease<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Guardian\u2019s move was precipitated by a unique announcement by RXR<\/a><\/b>, owner of 61 Broadway, that it would be converting just the ninth floor of that building into 21 apartments \u2014 around 20,000 square feet of residential space in total \u2014 plus a bike room and a lounge, according to the Journal. CetraRuddy Architecture<\/a><\/b> is the architect on the project. The remainder of the building would continue on as 650,000 square feet of office space.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Guardian will move into the 395,000-square-foot 100 Broadway, also known as the American Surety Building<\/b>, in 2026. The 21-story building sits at the corner of Broadway and Pine Street, across the street from historic Trinity Church<\/b>.<\/p>\n Completed in 1895, 100 Broadway, which was once the second-tallest building in the city, recently underwent a renovation featuring new suites and upgraded amenities designed by architecture\/design firm MKDA<\/a><\/b>. The building has seen 67,034 square feet of new leasing activity since June 2025, according to Northwood.<\/p>\n \u201cSince acquiring the building in 2013, we have invested in major upgrades that, along with the building\u2019s prime location, have helped increase rents by nearly 40 percent and demonstrate strong confidence from lenders,\u201d Christopher Caltabiano<\/b>, senior vice president of asset management at Northwood, said in a statement.<\/p>\n Other tenants at 100 Broadway include the marketing agency Team Epiphany<\/a><\/b>, building consultant Buro Happold<\/a><\/b>, consulting company Parsons<\/a><\/b>, insurance and financial services firm Alera Group<\/strong>, apparel company Tommy John<\/b>, financial services company Charles Schwab<\/a><\/b>, and therapy and coaching company Grow Therapy<\/a><\/b>, which took around 19,000 square feet in the building in November 2025, as CO reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
