(New York Post) The SEC is on the prowl — not for inside traders, but for a new home near Wall Street.
The SEC’s regional-headquarters lease at 200 Vesey St. in Brookfield Place — the former 3 World Financial Center — is up at the end of March 2021. The fraud-busters are aggressively kicking the tires nearby to find a location in which to downsize from its current 250,000 square feet into a more efficient, 175,000 square-foot space, sources said.
SEC execs scheduled tours on Thursday and Friday to check out properties including at 55 Water St., 199 Water St., 28 Liberty St., 7 Hanover Square and both One and Three World Trade Center.
Although the SEC is expected to leave 200 Vesey St. when its lease is up, it hasn’t ruled out moving to a different location within Brookfield Place, sources said.
