Global engineering and consulting firm Mott MacDonald has signed a lease for an entire floor at the Empire State Building, continuing its growth in the New York City market. The U.K.-based company will maintain its existing Manhattan office while establishing new operations in the landmark Midtown property.
The Empire State Building, managed by Empire State Realty Trust, remains one of the city’s most recognizable office towers, attracting a mix of high-profile tenants. Mott MacDonald’s decision to expand into the building underscores the continued appeal of centrally located, amenity-rich workplaces for global firms post-pandemic.
The terms of the lease were not disclosed. However, the move reflects a broader trend of professional services firms increasing their office commitments in key U.S. markets.
CoStar first reported the lease, which is part of a broader trend of international firms investing in strategic New York City locations.
