SILVER LAKE IN TALKS TO FOLLOW KKR TO 55 HUDSON YARDS


 

Silver Lake, the $24B private equity firm that acquired Dell Inc. in 2013, is considering a move to 55 Hudson Yards.

The firm is seeking about 50k SF of offices in the new tower, Bloomberg reports. The move would mark the second major tenant at 9 West 57th St., known as 9 West and owned by Sheldon Solow, to move to Hudson Yards. The first was KKR, which bought a 343k SF office condominium at the 2.6M SF 30 Hudson Yards.

Silver Lake would be joined in 55 Hudson Yards by Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, Point72 Asset Management, Market Axxess and Milbank.

In November, investment giant BlackRock announced that it plans to move from Park Avenue to 50 Hudson Yards when its lease expires in 2023.
