NEW YORK, March 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG), Manhattan’s largest office landlord, today announced that Palo Alto Networks, a leader in global cybersecurity, has signed a long-term lease covering an entire tower floor at One Madison Avenue, bringing SL Green’s 2023 signed office leasing volume to 491,913 square feet, while the Company’s office leasing pipeline has increased to over 1.0 million square feet, up from a 700,000 square feet pipeline just three weeks ago.

The 1.4 million square foot transformational development at One Madison Avenue, is scheduled for completion in October 2023 – approximately 5 weeks ahead of original timeline – and is now 59% leased.

The building’s distinctive architectural design, emphasis on a healthy and sustainable workplace, extensive amenity program, direct subway access and location in Manhattan’s most vibrant live, work, play neighborhood provides an unrivaled offering.”

Palo Alto Networks is a multinational cybersecurity firm, serving as a global cybersecurity leader for innovative technology solutions to protect thousands of organizations across clouds, networks, and mobile devices.

One Madison Avenue will combine the elegance of the existing limestone building together with more than 500,000 square feet of new, virtually column-free construction. Upon completion, it will provide the highest standard for today’s workplace with state-of-the-art infrastructure, forward-thinking amenities, and a cutting-edge healthy work environment. Highlights include a spectacular 10,000-square-foot roof deck with lush landscaping, a 7,000-square-foot tenant-only amenity space, an upscale French steakhouse and artisanal European style market operated by Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud, and a 54,000 square foot Chelsea Piers Fitness club.
