Fidelity National Information Services Inc. filed site plans with the city for a 357,460-square-foot office tower and 1,620-space parking garage — the company’s proposed world headquarters Downtown on Riverside Avenue.
The estimated $145 million project in Brooklyn will house more than 1,700 employees, including 500 new full-time jobs, FIS President and CEO Gary Norcross said Nov. 1.
Hines Senior Managing Director Lane Gardner, the project’s development manager, said Feb. 13 that the high-rise at 323 Riverside Ave. is on track for completion in June 2022.
England Thims & Miller, Inc. is the headquarters’ civil engineer. The company submitted an application for civil plan review to the city Feb. 12. San Francisco-based Gensler is the project architect.
The site plans show a 12-story tower and eight-story parking garage. According to Downtown Investment Authority staff, the parking structure is expected to be 570,000 square feet.
The project received final design approval Feb. 13 by the Downtown Development Review Board.
FIS, a Jacksonville-based Fortune 500 company, provides technology for financial institutions. It acquired Cincinnati-based Worldpay in July for $43 billion and needs more space.
The combined company will have more than $12 billion in annual revenue and 55,000 employees worldwide in 40 countries. It has clients in 110 countries.
The FIS headquarters will sit on 5.71 acres with the majority built on a 4½-acre parking lot owned by insurer Florida Blue.
