The Bold and The BeauTiful

Cond Nast and Interpublic Group were the gifts to New York that kept on giving, as the former added 138,773 square feet to the 1 million it inked last year at One World Trade Center and the latter blazed through a series of deals throughout the year, beginning with a whopping 220,359-square-foot transaction in October and ending with a smaller one last month. In all, the citys 10 biggest office leasing transaction were modest compared to 2011, when deals by Nomura Holding and Coach reached nearly 2 million square feet alone. Still, a wave of transactions from a variety of business sectorsfrom government and education to legal, financial services and mediaproved that, even during economic doldrums, bold can be beautiful.
