Barnes & Thornburg Relocating To 390 Madison Avenue As Firm Continues Growth In New York

Barnes & Thornburg has announced it will relocate its New York office to 390 Madison Ave in February 2022 to accommodate the firm’s continuing growth in New York. The firm signed a 14-year lease for the midtown Manhattan office space, which is triple the size of its current office.

The relocation comes only two years after Barnes & Thornburg’s initial expansion into New York in February 2020 with the hiring of six lateral partners from many of the city’s top firms. Since then, the New York team has grown considerably, to more than 25 attorneys and staff, with additional lateral announcements to come shortly.

“We are excited to expand our footprint in New York at 390 Madison, a beautiful, award-winning building in the heart of midtown,” said Robert J. Boller, partner in charge of the New York office. “Moving to new space allows us to be creative and to design a workspace that is welcoming and flexible enough to attract people back to the office, while retaining the functionality we need to continue meeting the evolving needs of our clients. We are really excited and can’t wait to get to work there in February.”

In developing the new lease agreement, the firm worked with Jones Lang LaSalle brokers Daniel Posy, Guthrie Garvin and Joe Messina. The build-out is being handled by Gensler architects Timothy Bromiley, Eric Brill and Michelle Robinson and Americon HITT contractors Craig Levine, Bernadette Barnett, Redding Midura and Todd Spiro.

The firm will remain in its current location at 445 Park Avenue until the renovation at the new site is complete.
