    Manhattan Offi ce Market 2 ND QUARTER 2015 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 1001 Avenue of the Americas Looking Ahead Partnership for New York City: New York’s Future as the World Financial Capital The report released in June concluded that while New York City remains the preferred location of global fi nancial companies to establish their headquarters, there is a growing trend to relocate jobs and business operations to lower cost, more business-friendly locations that are beyond the city’s border. A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld. Financial Industry – an economic snapshot • Contributes 20% of the city’s economic output, representing twice that of the next top-grossing industry. • Accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the city’s private sector payroll, despite accounting for only 8%, or about 310,000 of the city’s private sector jobs in 2013; of which 23,000 jobs are high-technology in the areas of software, data processing and network management.
