Axioma Expands to 30,000 SF at RFR’s 17 State St.
The global risk management and construction services software company has been steadily expanding its Lower Manhattan office space since 2009 when it first came to the building.
NEW YORK CITY—RFR Realty has expanded Axioma’s lease at 17 State St. to total 30,000 square feet.

A source close to the deal tells GlobeSt.com that the asking rent was $72 per square foot.
In 2009, Axioma initially leased an 8,700-square-foot space on the 25th floor. But they have continued to expand their footprint.
