Law firm Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith<\/a> signed a 70,000-square-foot lease for three floors at Union Investment<\/a>\u2019s 140 Broadway in Manhattan\u2019s Financial District.<\/p>\n

The firm will occupy three floors in the 1.1 million-square-foot office building according to the New York Business Journal, which was first to report the lease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move represents an expansion for the firm, which expects to house more than 200 lawyers at 140 Broadway when it relocates sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n

The law firm was once based at 77 Water Street but left that space sometime after that tower\u2019s conversion to residential housing was announced. It is currently in a temporary space at 7 World Trade Center.<\/p>\n

The identity of the brokers, length of the lease and asking rent were not disclosed. A lease in the building signed earlier this year by the PR firm Zeno Group<\/a> had an asking rent of $70 per square foot, as Commercial Observer previously reported<\/a>. Union Investment was represented by Newmark<\/a> on that lease.<\/p>\n

The 51-story building at the corner of Broadway and Liberty Street recently underwent an extensive renovation, including an updated lobby and the addition of a 10,000-square-foot, Gensler<\/a>-designed amenity space called the 140 Lounge. This new amenity space includes a coffee and pastry bar, a conference room, billiards tables and couches, as CO previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Completed in 1968, the building was designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill<\/a>, and hosts \u201cRed Cube,\u201d a bright red, 28-foot-tall abstract sculpture created by Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, right outside its doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Union Investment is a German asset manager with around $592.44 billion in assets under management as of June 2025, with $73.1 billion of those in \u201creal estate, infrastructure and alternative investments,\u201d including commodities, according to the company\u2019s website<\/a>. Union Investment has offices in Hamburg, Paris, Madrid, New York and Singapore dedicated to \u201csourcing real estate [and] coordinating with operating departments and additional committees, acquisitions and budget management.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other tenants at 140 Broadway include sustainable development consultancy Arup<\/a>, law firm Hawkins Delafield & Wood<\/a> and data information provider Statista<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lewis Brisbois, Union Investment and Newmark did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
