Hillary Clinton Leases Campaign Office for Possible Presidential Bid
NEW YORK, April 3 (UPI) — Hillary Clinton has not yet announced her candidacy for a presidential run in 2016, but she signed a lease for campaign headquarters Friday.
The lease for two floors of office space in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y. is the biggest indicator yet that the former secretary of state is on the cusp of launching her campaign. Under federal election rules, candidates have 15 days to declare a presidential run after participating in campaign activity, such as renting office space. It’s not clear who or what legal entity signed the lease document, Politico reported.
Up until now, Clinton’s small staff has been working from home or coffee shops. The new digs at One Pierrepont Plaza is described on its Web site as “Modern offices. Brooklyn cool.” The 19-story building is located near popular restaurants, subway and bus lines and major bridges. Several floors in the building have about 40,000 rentable square-feet each. The building has a 24-hour attended lobby and a turnstile card access system.
Brooklyn Heights is among the wealthiest neighborhoods in New York City.
