Dog treat and toy subscription company BarkBox<\/a> <\/b>is subleasing its 51,220-square-foot office in Manhattan\u2019s Financial District to a cybersecurity firm, Commercial Observer has learned.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence-powered cybersecurity company Adaptive Security<\/a><\/b> is taking over the 12th floor of Silverstein Properties<\/a><\/b>\u2019 120 Broadway<\/b>, which BarkBox leased and renovated on a 15-year deal starting in November 2021<\/a>, according to subtenant broker Savills<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Savills did not immediately disclose the terms or asking rent of the sublease agreement, but the average office asking rent in Lower Manhattan in March was $59.26 per square foot, according to a report from CBRE<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

The new deal represents Adaptive Security\u2019s third space in three years, growing from a 6,500-square-foot office to an 18,200-square-foot space within that time, according to Savills. The firm\u2019s most recent move followed a $146.5 million Series B fundraising effort that closed in December 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Manhattan office market remains highly competitive, particularly for AI and technology tenants seeking move-in-ready space that supports their continuing innovations,\u201d Savills\u2019 Zev Holzman<\/b> said in a statement. \u201cAs demand has tightened across core Midtown and surrounding submarkets, securing a large, modern office such as 120 Broadway required creativity and market insight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holzman represented Adaptive Security alongside Savills\u2019 Christopher Foerch<\/b>, Will Demuth<\/b> and Riley Scanlon<\/b>, while Ross Zimbalist<\/b> of CBRE handled negotiations on behalf of BarkBox.<\/p>\n

CBRE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2024 by co-founders Andrew Jones<\/b> and Brian Long<\/b>, Adaptive Security focuses on protecting organizations from AI-powered threats like deepfakes and phishing scams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis relocation gives us the flexibility to support increased recruitment and operations while remaining deeply connected to the city\u2019s technology ecosystem,\u201d Jones said in a statement.<\/p>\n

When BarkBox originally leased the 120 Broadway space with a distinctive H-shaped floorplate, it gave them access to a 20,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, but it\u2019s unclear if that component transfers over to Adaptive Security with the sublease.<\/p>\n

120 Broadway, also known as the Equitable Building,<\/b> is also somewhat newly renovated, with Silverstein investing $52 million in 2019 to restore the early 20th century building to something more akin to its original look, following the blessing<\/a> of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission<\/b>.<\/p>\n
