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.

The 27,950-square-foot site between East 55th and East 56th streets once supported a 30-story, 388-foot-high, 585,000-square-foot ofce building erected between 1954 and 1957. It was designed by the partnership of Kahn & Jacobs, who produced 61 buildings in New York during their 27-year tenure.
