Artificial intelligence-powered legal and compliance firm Norm Ai<\/a> is moving its headquarters to the Durst Organization<\/a>\u2019s One World Trade Center, Commercial Observer has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new headquarters lease spans 64,313 square feet inside the 104-story office tower, according to a source close to the deal, with the option to expand to 70,000 square feet. The lease marks a relocation for Norm Ai, which currently houses its team of researchers, engineers and lawyers at the nearby 7 World Trade Center. The company will occupy the entire 60th floor and part of the 61st floor. The space will also serve as the headquarters of Norm Law LLP<\/a>, an AI-native full-service law firm\u00a0started by Norm Ai\u2019s founder, John Nay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no building in the world that carries more institutional weight than One World Trade Center,\u201d Nay said in a statement. \u201cNorm Ai and Norm Law are building the legal infrastructure for AI at the scale of the institutions that define the global economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tower, owned and operated by Durst alongside the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey<\/a>, was 97 percent leased as of late April, CO previously reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norm Ai was represented in its deal by Savills<\/a>\u2019 Jim Wenk, Kirill Azovtsev and Scott Bogetti. Durst\u2019s Eric Engelhardt,\u00a0Karen Rose and Sayo Kamara represented the landlord in-house alongside Newmark<\/a>\u2019s David Falk, Peter Shimkin, Hal Stein, Nathan Kropp\u00a0and Paige Raisides.<\/p>\n

The asking rent and lease terms were unknown, but Class A office properties around the World Trade Center went for an average asking rent of $77.18 in the first quarter of 2026, according to Colliers data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Savills declined to comment on the deal, while Durst did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

News of Norm Ai\u2019s new lease comes after investment firm Energy Capital Partners recently expanded to more than 70,000 square feet<\/a> at One World Trade Center late last month. Other tenants there include software development company<\/a> Scale AI, law firm Frier Levitt and digital asset operator LMAX Group. Other AI-centric firms, including Keychain, ASAPP and Polymorphic, have also taken up residence in the tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
