Williams, Jones & Associates, an investment managing firm, signed an agreement entitling a 10-year renewal and expansion at 717 Fifth Avenue, according to a report from The Commercial Observer. Williams, Jones & Associates will relocate its offices to the building's 11th floor which spans 13,581 square feet.
Commenting on the location and logistic investment, Lindsay Ornstein said "Williams Jones has been a long-time occupant of 717 Fifth Avenue. When their occupancy needs changed and they required additional space, the building owner worked with us to relocate the firm within the building and accommodate growth."
