Dentsu America, Inc.,the North American Flagship of the largest advertising agency brand in the world, has relocated from midtown Manhattan to 32 Avenue of the Americas. The 27-story, 1.15 million sq ft landmark tower in the heart of lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood is the former world headquarters of AT&T. Dentsu Holdings shares the 16th floor of the Rudin-owned and managed office building.

Leading construction firm Aragon Construction, serving as Construction Manager, commenced pre-construction on Dentsu's new space in May. Aragon has gut renovated the 50,000 sq ft floor and - together with TPG Architecture - created a sophisticated, comfortable, collaborative space for the Dentsu brand.

Other design details include over 40 different light fixtures, back-lit glass, a centralized pantry, and open coffee bar to promote employee interaction, floating ceilings, raised floors, stone walls, a 'living room,' which functions as another break-out space, and a step down middle area for the think-tank rooms and work stations.
