NEW YORK CITY—IEX has signed a 45,000 square-foot lease with Silverstein Properties at 3 World Trade Center. The stock exchange will be moving from its current headquarters at 4 World Trade Center. A source close to the deal tells GlobeSt.com that the asking rent is in the $80s per square foot for 10 years. 

IEX was founded in 2012. The Wall Street Journal referred to the SEC’s 2017 approval for IEX to list companies as starting the first competition to the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq in nearly a decade. In 2013, IEX established its long-term base in Downtown Manhattan, leasing space on the 30th floor of 7 World Trade Center. Experiencing early-stage growth, in 2015 IEX moved to its current location, occupying 13,000 square feet on the 44th floor of 4 World Trade Center.
