Equinix has signed a ten-year lease for the entire 16th floor of 1133 Avenue of the Americas building near Bryant Park, New York.

The company is moving to the 22,111 square foot (2,054 sq m) office from its current New York headquarters in Times Square.

The very heart of it

“Equinix will be a fantastic addition to 1133,” Jonathan Durst, president of The Durst Organization which owns the building, said.

“We have upgraded a Mid-Century Modern Classic with the technology and amenities that twenty-first century tenants demand. 1133 now provides the best of both worlds - a timeless design and state-of-art operations.”

Equinix was represented by Cushman & Wakefield, while The Durst Organization was represented in-house.

The colo and interconnection company has been expanding rapidly as of late, both with internal data center projects, and several acquisitions, most notably with its $3.6 billion purchase of Verizon’s data center portfolio in the US and Latin America, which is expected to close this year.
