Rabobank relocates to new Manhattan Headquarters designed by SIGMA7

July 1st, 2025

Rabobank's New NYC Headquarters Designed by SIGMA7, reflects the bank's mission statement, commitment to collaboration, engagement, and transparency, while also incorporating sustainable and environmentally conscious features.

Rabobank, an international cooperative bank with Dutch origins dating back more than 125 years, teamed with SIGMA7 for the design and delivery of their New York City Headquarters. The modern workspace, is located within the nations first 'green skyscraper'  as it echoes the bank’s policies for sustainability and environmental consciousness. 

The entry gallery, clad in natural wood planking, features custom designed rugs that reflect Rabobank's corporate colors and the colors of the original Dutch flag as well as subway signs presented in Dutch and English, reflect the strong historical link between the Dutch New Amsterdam and modern New York.

The reception area features a historical timeline and green biophilic wall. These plantings and other greenery throughout the space provide natural filtration of the air and a fresh supply of oxygen. They are an extension of large landscaped outdoor terrace, accessible to all, with tables and seating groupings for an informal meeting while offering an amazing vantage point to Times Square and “The Ball.”

The clean, minimalist and modern furnishings of the wireless office are a combination of new, relocated and reused furnishings, a true reflection and integration of their sustainability and other core policies. The open floor plate ergonomic seating with sit/stand desks is hotel based in support of the collaborative and team-based work ethic. The space is well lit with every desk in close proximity to a window and enhanced with LED lighting that includes daylight, occupancy and vacancy sensors to regulate lighting levels, reduce energy consumption, further improving energy efficiency.

Informal seating areas are located along the windowed perimeter. Acoustically treated PODs, teaming, meeting, and conference rooms are seamlessly integrated into the interior of the space and feature super graphics of natural produce, sustainable energy sources, or production related images, reflective of the brand sectors and policies. They are also provided with integrated A/V and Telecom capability to facilitate teaming across NYC or the globe.

A spacious minimalist boardroom comfortably accommodates twenty-two at the table for large meetings including those with frequent international visitors and dignitaries.

The large rotunda and pantry (located at the top of the Nasdaq sign in Times Square) is designed and used as a flex space for meetings, large presentations and gatherings, as well as a break and lunchroom and continues to reinforce Rabobank’s core values -- No paper cups or plastic utensils here, hundreds of branded glasses and coffee mugs are proudly displayed and used by all!

The design of Rabobank’s new headquarters executed by SIGMA7 demonstrates the bank’s success in realizing a workplace that embodies its commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and transparency. This modern workspace designed for collaboration and innovation was achieved without incurring additional costs while ensuring a comfortable and efficient environment conducive to employee productivity and satisfaction.
