NEW YORK CITY—Global workspace provider Knotel reports it has finalized deals for five new locations in New York City, bringing its overall footprint here to 100 buildings and nearly 2.5 million square feet of office space.
The firm’s announcement on July 1 followed completed deals for 24 new locations in New York City, London, Paris and San Francisco in the month of May alone.
“Owners, brokers and companies in New York City and across the globe continue to respond favorably to Knotel as a great alternative to the conventional office experience,” said Eugene Lee, chief investment officer of Knotel. “Because of this, we’ve developed a market-leading portfolio of flexible office locations in New York where we began less than four years ago—and across the globe with new sites in London, Paris and San Francisco, and expansion to new cities in the coming months.”
Since the beginning of 2018, Knotel has grown from 30 locations spanning 600,000 square feet to more than 200 locations rapidly approaching 4 million square feet. A partner for landlords and brokers, Knotel’s roster of clients includes Omnicom, Netflix, Daimler and Starbucks.
New locations announced by Knotel in New York City and in other global markets include:
• Three spaces at 12 East 33rd St. in New York City’s Murray Hill neighborhood totaling more than 9,000 square feet.
