Sports analytics and technology company Genius Sports<\/a> is relocating its U.S. headquarters to 1290 Avenue of the Americas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The London-based company\u2019s new 10-year lease with landlord Vornado Realty Trust<\/a> spans 53,000 square feet across part of the tower\u2019s sixth floor. Asking rent was $99 per square foot, according to The Real Deal, which first reported<\/a> on the lease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newmark<\/a>\u2019s Josh Berg and A.J. Dorn negotiated the deal on behalf of Genius Sports, while Vornado was represented in-house by Ryan Levy and Edward Riguardi. A spokesperson for the landlord declined to comment on the transaction.<\/p>\n

The deal offers Genius Sports a marked expansion from its 28,000-square-foot West Chelsea offices at 512 West 22nd Street. That building changed hands last year from Vornado and the Albanese Organization to Raghsa Real Estate for $205 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Genius Sports\u2019 arrival brings 1290 Avenue of the Americas to 95 percent occupancy. The 43-story, full-block building between 51st and 52nd streets is anchored by investment management firm Neuberger Berman, and recently underwent a $45 million renovation that updated lobby and building amenities. Vornado owns 70 percent of the building, while the Trump Organization holds a passive 30 percent stake.<\/p>\n

Other recent arrivals at the tower include business consulting firms Portage Point Partners and Protiviti, which CO reported leased a total of 93,000 square feet<\/a> late last year. In January, investment manager<\/a> Oaktree leased the building\u2019s entire 12th floor, just a few stories below law firm<\/a> Selendy Gay\u2019s 101,000-square-foot offices.<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for Genius Sports and Newmark did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
