In its commitment to grow in the US market, Misys, global financial software company, selects 285 Madison Avenue as the new regional headquarters for its business in the US. The firm’s 150 employees in New York will occupy a 23,492 square foot floor of the 26-storey, Class-A commercial real estate building owned by RFR Realty and GreenOak Real Estate. They will neighbor the offices of General Electric and Tommy Hilfiger.

 “New York City is a key global financial centre and home to many leading financial institutions from the Americas and around the world. It has been a core market for our business for many years. The move signals our commitment to continuing our growth in the US and opens up significant potential to expand our relationships across the region’s vibrant financial services ecosystem,” said Nadeem Syed, CEO of Misys.

Misys, which provides banking, capital markets, investment management and risk solutions to 48 of the world’s 50 largest banks, will join several prestigious tenants of 285 Madison Avenue, including General Electric Company, MetLife’s Brighthouse Financial, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Tommy Hilfiger. With capacity for a 200-person headcount, the new regional HQ offers Misys the space to support its growth ambitions.
