Popular sought to create a new corporate headquarters on the East Coast. They required a space that could incorporate its current Chicago HQ staff, its current NYC corporate office population and their new departmental program needs. MOA created a space program to identify how much space they would require. MOA joined Popular and their RE brokers within Manhattan and Jersey City to evaluate the different spaces available on the market at that time. Ultimately deciding on two floors within the Financial District of downtown Manhattan where MOA fulfilled their budget and design requirements of a progressive, yet timeless space.
