SymphonyIRI Group, one of the nation's ten largest market research companies, has renewed its lease at Malkin Properties' MerrittView, according to Jeffrey Newman, executive vice president of Malkin Properties, the marketing and managing agent for the building. The tenant, which has occupied its 10,000 s/f space on the sixth floor since 1996, has renewed six months early and will remain in the trophy building for another five and a half years. "Our company has seen many changes and has evolved a great deal during our tenure at Merritt-View," said Chris Caponigri, vice president of Corporate Services at SymphonyIRI. "As our latest lease term approached its end, whether or not to renew barely required discussion. With its convenient location and amenities package, we hope to remain at MerrittView for many years to come." Newman represented the landlord in the transaction. The tenant was represented by John Ryan and Paul Tortora of Jones Lang LaSalle.
