Hightower is also planning to leave its current location at 505 Fifth Avenue early next year.
Its Madison Avenue office will feature conference rooms for team briefings and client events while Lexington Ave office, situated in Chrysler building, will have a mix of casual space for gatherings, as well as high-tech desks, offices, and meeting rooms.
The Manhattan office will offer an additional home base for the firm’s advisors serving the New York metro area.
These new office locations are expected to enable both in-depth client and advisor conversations and support essential community, cultural activities. It will also support collaboration among advisers and corporate employees.

“Culture is paramount at Hightower and expanding our footprint in New York will enable us to foster collaboration and fuel the next steps in our firm’s expansion.”
Hightower has 119 advisory businesses across 34 US states and the district of Columbia.
