The Durst Organization and The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today announced that DAZN Group has signed a 10-year lease for 50,668 square feet on the 72nd and partial 71st floors of One World Trade Center. The sports media company, which streams sports through its live and on-demand service, is expanding and relocating its Lower Manhattan offices to One World Trade Center. DAZN joins BounceX, which closed a nearly 80,000-square-foot deal at One WTC earlier this month, and an impressive roster of innovative media and technology firms including Conde Nast, Aaptiv and Sailthru.

“One World Trade is a world-class building that provides us an excellent home base from which we’ll continue to grow our business and our brand,” said John Skipper, Executive Chairman of DAZN Group.

“We are thrilled to welcome the DAZN team to One World Trade Center,” said Jonathan (Jody) Durst, President of The Durst Organization. “DAZN’s global platform for streaming media is an exciting addition to the One World Trade Center tenant roster. We are privileged to house many of the leading TAMI firms in New York City, and the DAZN deal solidifies the trend. We look forward to this creative company joining our community of innovators at One WTC.”

“We are thrilled that DAZN has chosen One World Trade Center for its new home, joining so many other exciting and progressive companies in the building,” said David Falk, President New York Tri-State Region of Newmark Knight Frank. “One WTC is becoming the building for companies in the tech and media world and we look forward to having them be part of the exciting community at the building.”

“Relocating to One WTC is a strong move for DAZN,” said John Johnson of Savills Studley, “DAZN’s new home will attract and retain the highest-quality talent with its world-class design and amenities, and access to Downtown’s incredible transportation and vibrant retail scene.”

DAZN Group was represented by Senior Managing Director John A. Johnson Jr. and Senior Managing Director Nicholas B. Farmakis of Savills Studley.

The landlord was represented by Senior Managing Director Eric Engelhardt and Director Karen Kuznick of The Durst Organization, and the Newmark Knight Frank team of David A. Falk, Jason T. Greenstein, Peter T. Shimkin, Hal D. Stein and Travis Wilson.
