The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is expanding to 152,000 square feet at the Center Building at 33-00 Northern Blvd. in Long Island City.
Along with adding 17,000 square feet on part of the 6th floor, the state agency renewed until 2026 its lease on part of the seventh floor and entire eighth floor.
Josh Kuriloff and Jodi Roberts of Cushman & Wakefield represented the MTA, which is rejiggering its occupancies as it prepares to turn over its Madison Avenue buildings in Midtown to Boston Properties for redevelopment.
In a direct deal, the city’s Human Resources Administration was also renewed, for 150,000 square feet.
Glen Weiss and Josh Glick repped Center Building owner Vornado for both leases. Sources said asking rents in the building are roughly $40 a square foot.
Cushman & Wakefield and Vornado reps declined comment.
