Fox Corp. plans to vacate a quarter of its space at 1211 Sixth Ave., a move that would come only three years after Rupert Murdoch’s media empire agreed to stay in the Midtown tower until 2042.Fox intends in November to leave 330,000 of its 1.25 million square feet in the building, credit-rating agency KBRA said in a report Wednesday in which it downgraded 1211 Sixth’s $1 billion mortgage, citing an “impending decline in the property’s occupancy.”The building houses the corporate headquarters for Fox and News Corp., studios for Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal and New York Post newsrooms. It’s not clear which parts of the Murdoch enterprises would shrink their space at 1211 Sixth. Fox and News Corp. would continue to occupy about half of the 45-story, 1.9 million square-foot building, a person familiar with the matter said. About half the space to be vacated is subleased to Disney Streaming Services, KBRA said, likely a remnant of the 2019 deal in which Fox sold its entertainment assets to Disney for $71 billion. A Disney spokeswoman said employees are moving the company’s new space at 7 Hudson Square, which will also be home to studios for "Good Morning America" after the show is relocated from Times Square. Fox referred questions to Mary Ann Tighe, CEO for the tri-state region at CBRE. She negotiated the lease extension for it and News Corp. in 2022 and said the building’s owner was aware of Fox’s plans when the parties reached their agreement.“Nothing has changed,”...
