Company to bring identity products to life in
brand experience center for Okta customers, partners, prospects,
and employees
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity
provider, today announced plans to create an Experience Center in
premier retail space in New York City’s Flatiron District, and
signed a lease at 920 Broadway. The new retail space, a first for
the enterprise software company, will serve the dual purposes of
bringing Okta customers, prospects, partners, and employees
together, as well as provide the company a space to deliver unique,
immersive ways for its network to experience and interact with
Okta’s technology.
“Consumer companies, such as Apple and Blue Bottle, have led the
way in creating unique, immersive retail locations that exemplify
their brand. With our New York City location, we’ll be creating the
same powerful experience to enable our customers, prospects,
partners, and employees to interact with Okta and each other, and
to ensure they walk away with an understanding of what we do and
the value we deliver,” said Armen Vartanian, Senior Vice President,
Global Workplace Services, Okta. “We’re excited to expand our
footprint to include New York City and to reimagine the way
enterprise software companies can leverage their physical spaces to
bring their products to life and create memorable experiences for
their networks.”
The unique space, which will cover more than 6,500 square feet,
will feature advanced technology and tools to enable Okta
customers, prospects, partners, and employees to experience Okta’s
products while also serving as a place for them to deepen
connection and build community.
“Okta’s growth and success comes from our commitment to our
customers. I’m excited about this new space and how it will help us
lead customers into their future with our identity management
solutions,” said Eric Kelleher, Chief Customer Officer, Okta.
“We are thrilled to welcome Okta to our portfolio, joining our
roster of tech and venture tenants including Apple and Open Table,”
said Zach Kleinhandler, COO and a Partner at KLM Equities Inc. “920
Broadway is in a vibrant, central location in the Flatiron District
and neighbors upscale retail, restaurants, and tech companies.
We’re looking forward to working with Okta to bring the vision for
its Experience Center to our building.”

Okta in the lease negotiations, and David Kleinhandler and Michael
Politi of CBRE and Richard Gelber and Gary Alterman of Newmark

design teams and the Experience Center will open in November 2022
