The iconic Metlife Building in New York recently underwent an extensive multimillion-dollar renovation with the primary objective of optimizing leasing opportunities. In the wake of the two-year impact of Covid-19, numerous office spaces across New York stood vacant, prompting a strategic reevaluation by building owners Tishman Speyer and The Irvine Company.

Collaborating closely with an esteemed advertising agency, Tishman Speyer sought to produce a captivating video commercial that would not only showcase the stunning redesign but also capture the essence of the building's prime location and the tranquil haven it offers amidst the bustling cityscape.

Our approach to the commercial treatment was meticulously crafted, emphasizing not only the exquisite design elements but also the unique ambiance and functionality of key areas within the building. Highlights included the sophisticated conference room, inviting lounge, state-of-the-art meeting spaces, and the elegant restaurant, each meticulously curated to appeal to prospective tenants.

To further enhance the authenticity of the commercial, careful consideration was given to selecting talent that exuded professionalism and seamlessly blended into the environment, effectively portraying individuals who could easily be envisioned as integral members of the building's vibrant community.
