Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC

Lord Abbett’s headquarters relocation presented an opportunity to create a workplace centered on connection, employee experience and wellbeing. Occupying the top five floors of a 40-story tower, the new headquarters needed to unite teams across a significant vertical footprint while taking advantage of expansive views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.

G&T provided Project and Cost Management services for the 178,107 SF relocation, supporting the delivery of a varied workplace and amenity program. A three-level sculptural stone staircase creates a physical connection between floors, while the 40th-floor Exchange provides a shared destination for employees. An auditorium, production studio, fitness lounge, game room and barista café complement collaborative and focused work settings throughout.

The headquarters combines a highly connected employee experience with exceptional environmental and wellness performance. LEED v4 ID+C Platinum and WELL Platinum certifications recognize those achievements, creating a workplace where sustainability, wellbeing and the day-to-day experience of employees are embedded in the design.
