NYS Office of the Attorney General expands to 378K SF at 28 Liberty in FiDi

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2026 – JLL announced today that the New York State Office of the Attorney General has expanded and extended its long-term presence at 28 Liberty St., committing to a total of 378,438 square feet at the iconic Lower Manhattan office tower.

The transaction includes an extension of the existing 342,484 square feet the AG occupies across floors E13–21 and E23. The tenant also signed a long-term lease for an additional 35,954 square feet on the entire twenty-second floor.

Located in the heart of the Financial District, 28 Liberty St. features a robust amenity offering, highlighted by a full-block public plaza, on-site dining and retail, modernized lobby and infrastructure upgrades, and proximity to Downtown’s growing residential, retail and hospitality base, with lifestyle amenities specialized in experiential wellness and recreation.

The 60-story, 2.11-million-square-foot landmarked building is situated in the heart of downtown and provides tenants direct access to six subway lines from the lobby, while entry to the World Trade Center transit complex is two blocks to the north.

A JLL team that includes Chairman and President Peter Riguardi, Executive Managing Director John Wheeler, Vice Chairman Mitchell Konsker and Managing Director Michael Berman arranged the transaction with the Office of the Attorney General.

Said Wheeler, “The AG Office’s decision to extend and expand at 28 Liberty St. validates ownership’s continued commitment to invest in this iconic asset to create diverse lifestyle amenities, activated common spaces and integrated technology and support infrastructure.”

The New York State Office of the Attorney General has been a tenant of 28 Liberty since 2018 and occupies roughly 20% of the building. The property is also home to a blend of institutional, financial, tech and service tenants including Stripe, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, London Stock Exchange Group, Wolters Kluwer, Carter Ledyard & Milburn and SCOR Reinsurance.

According to JLL Research, 2025 has been a banner year for the downtown office market, with over 4.5M square feet of space leased, more than double that of 2024. As Midtown and Midtown South have filled up, tenants are increasingly looking in Lower Manhattan for good quality space at a relative discount.

JLL is a leader in the New York tri-state commercial real estate market, with more than 2,600 of the most recognized industry experts offering brokerage, capital markets, property/facilities management, consulting, and project and development services.
