It would be the first Big Apple HQ for the company, which currently has offices in the Bay Area; Lake Mary, Florida; Denver and London, according to The Real Deal.

• It’s a new market out there: Condé Nast is exploring taking office space in New Jersey and reducing its presence in Manhattan as part of a bid to cut costs. The magazine publisher, a high-profile tenant at One World Trade Center, is looking for roughly 400,000 SF of office space split between Manhattan and the northern New Jersey waterfront, Crain’s reported.
