JW: The Empire State Building's central location was critical for Taylor, but more important, it makes a statement. With all of the improvements in the works, the property is an ideal fit for a growing sports marketing firm in the midst of its re-branding program. Simply put, the Empire State Building's transformation is extremely impressive and great for business.

What sealed the deal for Taylor?

JW: I'd say it was a combination of economics and the opportunity to lease a full tower floor with great light and views.

What were the leasing negotiations like?

JW: They were tough but fair. Even though I could see that there's been a lot of leasing activity at the building lately, management responded promptly to our questions and requests. All in all, the negotiations went pretty smoothly.

How would you describe your experiences with W&H?

JW: Very positive. It's clear to me that the representatives of this portfolio deliver on their promises.
