NEW YORK CITY — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has signed a 200,000-square-foot lease at Forest HillsTower, to serve as the agency's New York City headquarters over the next several months. FEMA will utilize the space for administrative offices. There will be no on-site access to the general public. Given the organization's urgent need to oversee emergency-related activities in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, FEMA closed the transaction within a 48-hour period. Ken Siegel of Jones Lang LaSalle represented the landlord, Muss Development in the transaction. Mark Greenspan of CBRE Group represented the United States General Services Administration, which acted on behalf of FEMA.
