It’s not lost on the real estate industry that in the last week, two large tenants have made plans to move more than 1.5 million square feet out of the state — and not to New Jersey or Connecticut but to Confederate territory.

Global money manager AllianceBernstein will move its headquarters and 1,050 jobs to Nashville — yep, the home of country music and mostly flyover country to many New Yorkers.

Socially conscious liberals may wrinkle their noses at the very idea of moving to Tennessee — where Davy Crockett was born on a mountaintop — but Big Apple denizens pay the highest taxes in the nation and face ever-rising costs. So, those who worry about their company’s bottom line get it. “Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio better wake up,” said one CEO on condition of anonymity.

The two battling progressive Democrats are rolling out the red carpet for prospective voters with empty pockets, while expecting those with deeper ones to pick up the tabs. But some with deep pockets answer to voting stockholders who want larger bottom lines and charity to begin at home.

AllianceBernstein Chief Executive Seth Bernstein will also move to Nashville, where the company will spend $70 million on a new HQ in a state that just passed a law to lower taxes for public companies. Bernstein cited its lower housing costs, shorter commutes and future infrastructure investments.

Some may consider it to have a better quality of life — if going to the Grand Ole Opry beats Broadway theater.

Related Companies is a winner for luring Deutsche Bank from Wall Street to the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle as the entertainment giant moves to Related’s 30 Hudson Yards tower.

Deutsche will get its name on the newer building in a prominent location.

But to make a rent of $135 per square foot for 1.2 million square feet, it will have to downsize here to lower its average costs — something its CEO, Christian Sewing, is focused on as he streamlines the global bank.

Sources say the new CEO is eyeing the Sunshine State for another needed 500,000 square feet — at roughly 300 square feet for each person — in Jacksonville, Fla., a state with no income tax, where the bank has already expanded to have 2,200 jobs since opening in 2008 with 100 people.

The property taxes at 60 Wall St., most of which were likely paid by Deutsche, were upward of $21 million this past fiscal year — roughly $13 per square foot for the 1.6-million-square-foot building. Not far from the average of $13.96 per square foot each for Manhattan’s 2,210 office buildings with 342 million square feet. But new towers with no abatements are paying twice that.

The office portion of the Time Warner Center paid $23.07 million in property taxes this fiscal year. When it starts a new lease with a new “base” year, as is common in the industry, Deutsche will likely get a tax pass from Related for the first year or more when it moves at the end of 2021.

AllianceBernstein is based at the 1.9-million-foot 1345 Sixth Ave. in about 1 million square feet leased to December 2024. The building has a $47.9 million yearly property tax bill based on income of almost $130 million. It’s no wonder Alliance is fleeing the city and the Fisher Bros. ownership is spending $65 million on a new lobby, plaza and other upgrades to entice a replacement.
