The asking rent was not disclosed, but Commercial Observer previously report<\/a>ed a record asking rent at the Midtown office tower<\/a> \u2014 also known as the Solow Building \u2014 of $327.50 per square foot. The average asking rent for office space in Midtown was $98.98 per square foot during the first half of 2026, according to Colliers research.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HarbourVest Partners was represented by JLL<\/a>\u2019s Alexander Chudnoff and Ava Loughlin, while Soloviev Group was represented by CBRE<\/a>\u2019s Howard Fiddle, John Maher, Gregg Rothkin, Tara Rhodes and Alex Leopold. CBRE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s leading financial firms are increasingly focused on attracting and retaining top talent, and the office they choose has become a critical part of that strategy,\u201d Chudnoff said in a statement. \u201cHarbourVest wanted its office in New York City to reflect the caliber of its business, and to provide an exceptional experience for both clients and employees. Few buildings deliver that combination better than 9 West 57th Street, which continues to attract many of the world\u2019s most prestigious financial and investment firms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built in 1974, 9 West 57th Street is a 49-story office building with tenants including oil and energy company<\/a> Hess Group and global finance firm<\/a> Tikehau Capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
