Durels. “ESRT continues to attract high-quality office tenants with
our modernized office spaces in prime locations, excellent balance
sheet and service, and state-of-the-art amenities that provide an
enhanced tenant experience.”

conference center; and seven in-building food and beverage options,

“The amenities in the Empire State Building are amazing – they
are best in class” said President and Co-CEO Jean-Luc Decaux of
JCDecaux, the world’s largest out-of-home advertising company that
has been a tenant of the Empire State Building since 2016. “You can
start with the gym in the lower floor, which I know our employees
are enjoying thoroughly, and go all the way to the bike storage
room, which I use myself personally for my e-scooter.”
Since 2008, ESRT has invested more than $650 million in capital
improvements to modernize the Empire State Building and make it
energy efficient and sustainable with superior indoor environmental
quality and unmatched tenant amenities. These upgrades have
resulted in strong leasing and employee recruitment, retention, and
productivity for office tenants, evidenced by the fact that it is
93.4% leased as of June 30, 2024.
