The world-class office facility we will build will be an important investment in our people and brands, and will be critical to our continued growth. Lower Manhattan's transformation into one of the city's liveliest neighborhoods was a draw, alongside its infrastructure, lifestyle options and convenient amenities for our employees."

"By choosing this neighborhood, Moët Hennessy USA joins a growing and diverse community of businesses that represent many of the world's leading luxury brands. Santé!"
