Deutsche Bank, longtime occupant and onetime owner of 60 Wall St., is reportedly planning to move offices once its lease expires in 2022. The company is looking into taking 1.3M SF at either 2 World Trade Center or 50 Hudson Yards, the New York Post reports.

Deutsche Bank has reportedly sent both Silverstein Properties and 50 Hudson Yards developers Related Cos. and Oxford Property Group requests for proposals, signaling a desire to move forward with leasing plans.
