Human resources technology firm Gusto is expanding its space at Vornado Realty Trust’s Midtown office tower Penn 1, also known as 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, doubling its footprint at the property, Commercial Observer reported.

The deal includes a 13-year lease expansion that adds 38,000 square feet across the tower’s 47th floor. Gusto also opted for a five-year renewal of its 52nd-floor lease, which spans an additional 38,000 square feet, bringing its total footprint at Penn 1 to 76,000 square feet.

Asking rent was $135 per square foot, per Commercial Observer. The story also said CBRE data show Penn 1’s asking rents exceed the Midtown average office asking rent of $85.55 per square foot in August.

Commercial Observer noted Penn 1 is Vornado’s largest office tower in its Penn District and underwent a $450 million renovation in 2023, adding amenities including a restaurant and a 35,000-square-foot wellness and fitness center. Tenants cited include Samsung, Dell, United Healthcare, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo.
