Moody’s Will Relocate Global Headquarters to Brookfield Place

Moody’s Corporation said Monday it will relocate its global headquarters to 200 Liberty St. at Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan, continuing the company’s 115-year-plus connection to New York City. The move into approximately 460,000 square feet at the 40-story tower is slated for 2027.

“Brookfield Place is one of the world’s premier workplaces, and Moody’s decision to locate its global headquarters here signifies the company’s strong commitment to New York City, Lower Manhattan, their employees and the future of their business,” said Ben Brown, co-president, Brookfield Real Estate. “Moody’s will join an elite roster of leading companies at Brookfield Place, and we are thrilled to welcome them.”

Moody’s was represented on the deal by Cushman & Wakefield (Robert Lowe, John Cefaly, Paige Engledrum, Ed Donnery, Michael Montesi and Nicholas Dysenchuk) and Fried Frank (Valerie Kelly, Jonathan Mechanic and Catherine Bushong). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Separately, the Battery Park City Authority announced it has executed an agreement with Brookfield Properties to modify and extend the ground lease for the 9.4-million-square-foot Brookfield Place complex.  The agreement extends the ground lease term from 2069 to 2119.
