Statement from Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership for New York City, on Bank of New York Mellon’s Decision to Move Headquarters Downtown

June 26, 2014

“BNY Mellon will remain a New York-headquartered institution and consolidate approximately 1,100 great jobs in Lower Manhattan, thanks to the bank’s historic commitment to the city as well as Governor Cuomo’s pro-business initiatives and the exceptional real estate opportunity offered by Brookfield Properties. This demonstrates that the value proposition in New York City as the center of the global financial industry remains strong, despite growing competition from other localities.”
