May 13, 2008

Boston-headquartered law firm Goodwin Procter has settled into its new 185,000-square-foot home at the 1.6 million-square-foot New York Times Building. The firm signed a 15-year lease on the space, which spans six floors of the 52-story tower. Situated at 620 Eighth Ave., the Renzo Piano-designed building is a co-development project of Forest City Ratner Cos. and The New York Times Co., and now serves as the newspaper's headquarters. For Goodwin Procter, the relocation marks a significant expansion from its previous 100,000-square-foot locale at 599 Lexington Ave.
