Hip-hop will no longer live in Hudson Square but instead reside in the Flatiron District.

MediaCo Holding, parent company of radio stations HOT 97 and WBLS, signed a 16-year lease for 25,000 square feet on the second and third floors of Savanna’s 48 West 25th Street, the New York Post first reported. Asking rent was in the mid-$70s per square foot, according to Savanna.

The new space will serve as WBLS and HOT 97’s broadcast studios as MediaCo is planning to depart its current New York City headquarters on the seventh floor of 395 Hudson Street, Savanna said.

Ethan Silverstein, Theodora Livadiotis and Bruce Mosler of Cushman & Wakefield represented Savanna, while C&W’s Anthony LoPresti negotiated on behalf of MediaCo.
