The project supports Annaly’s continued commitment to providing employees with a high-performance environment optimized for both focus-driven tasks and cross-team collaboration. The refreshed layout balances privacy and openness, integrating technology-forward spaces and premium materials into a cohesive design.
A Workplace Designed for High-Level Financial Operations
The newly completed office includes a wide range of program areas to serve Annaly’s diverse workflows:
- A modern executive boardroom
- Private offices and confidential meeting spaces
- Conference and breakout rooms
- A pantry and café area designed for employee comfort and informal connection
- An expansive open office zone for team collaboration
- A fully equipped trading floor built to meet the technical demands of real-time financial activity
Together, these environments create a workplace that supports both strategic decision-making and the fast-paced needs of trading, analysis, and portfolio management.
High-End Craftsmanship Through Custom Millwork
JRM’s team delivered extensive custom millwork throughout the project, producing a refined and unified aesthetic. This included:
- Architectural wall paneling
- Custom portals and frames
- Cabinetry tailored to storage and workflow needs
- Solid surface countertops
- Integrated shelving and built-ins
These elements were fabricated and installed to achieve a precise, premium finish, reinforcing Annaly’s brand identity and leadership as a major financial institution.
The workspace incorporates advanced building systems, updated audio-visual infrastructure, and a materials palette chosen for durability, performance, and visual impact.
Leadership: Delivering Performance Through Precision
“We’re proud to partner with Annaly to deliver a dynamic workplace that supports their growing operations,” said Joseph P. Romano, CEO, JRM Construction Management. “This project highlights JRM’s ability to execute complex corporate interiors, creating environments that elevate functionality and the employee experience.”
This project further demonstrates JRM’s ability to execute large-scale interior transformations in active metropolitan office towers, coordinating construction logistics with building management, consultants, and project partners to ensure efficient delivery.
A Strategic Build-Out for a Leading Financial Firm
With financial institutions increasingly focused on workplace optimization — balancing hybrid work policies, real-time trading requirements, and secure digital infrastructure — Annaly’s upgraded office reflects a broader trend in the sector. Many capital management firms are investing in flexible, technology-rich spaces that allow them to scale operations, attract talent, and maintain a competitive edge.
The new trading floor and integrated collaboration zones are designed to enhance communication speed, data visibility, and team responsiveness — critical components of Annaly’s role in global financial markets.
