Convene Adds Hudson Yards to its Roster of Manhattan Locations

Convene, a provider of event and meeting space launched in 2019 will be adding Hudson Yards to its current roster of 14 locations throughout Manhattan. The company signed a sublease for 72,000 square feet on the 24th floor of 30 Hudson Yards located at 500 West 33rd Street. A 2,770-square-foot space on the ground level was also leased to serve as a welcome center for the company’s clients. The Hudson Yards location will be able to accommodate nearly 1,500 guests, making it Convene’s largest facility in the city. Although not verified, it appears the sublandlord is Warner Bros. Discovery, which per city records and press at the time had purchased the 1.5 million condominium interest spanning the 16^th through 51^st floors within the 90-story, 2.6 million-square-foot tower for roughly $1.426 billion from Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group while the building was still under construction; and then in June 2019 completed a sale/leaseback for $2.155 billion to Related and Allianz Real Estate, securing a 15-year lease through 2034 as part of the transaction.
