Lava inked an 11-year deal for 23,500 sf on the fourth floor of 95 Morton St., located between Greenwich and Washington streets, building on the 16,500 sf it already occupies on the seventh floor.

"Lava chose to grow within a former hot spot for fast growth firms," says David Dusek, associate director of C&W, who along with C&W director Alex Chudnoff represented Lava in its expansion.
