Website builder Squarespace is close to signing a lease for 100,000 square feet at Trinity Real Estate’s 225 Varick Street in Hudson Square.
The tenant is expected to pay in the mid-$60s per square foot for the three-floor space, covering the 10th, 11th and 12th floors. Merrill Corp., the last printing house in the neighborhood, formerly occupied the space, which it used for language translation services.
Fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul took 12,000 square feet of space at the 12-story, 380,000-square-foot building in 2012, as previously reported. [Crain’s] — Mark Maurer
