FINANCIAL DISTRICT — The New York Daily News is moving downtown.

The paper is relocating from its remote Hudson Yards headquarters to new Financial District digs at 4 New York Plaza by July 2011, publisher Mort Zuckerman announced Monday.

Zuckerman’s U.S. News & World Report Media Group will move as well, taking a combined 100,000 square feet in the 25-story building at Water and Broad streets.

“These are first-rate accommodations in the heart of the city’s Financial District with superb amenities,” Zuckerman said in a statement. “This location will provide our employees with a modern new home.”

The building’s landlord, Harbor Group International, LLC, was represented in the deal by CB Richard Ellis, while Cushman & Wakefield represented Zuckerman.

The lease brings 4 New York Plaza to 85 percent occupancy. JPMorgan Chase has a long-term lease for 75 percent of the space.

The Downtown Alliance business improvement district recently announced an overhaul of Water Street to attract and maintain business tenants in the area.

The Daily News used to be located in it's own Daily News Building on East 42nd Street, but decamped to the West Side in the 1990s.
