Lease Signed in Brooklyn Heights for Hillary Clinton's Campaign Headquarters

[In_The_Wind]

A lease has been signed for an office in Brooklyn that is expected to be the headquarters for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, sources familiar with the deal told MSNBC on Friday.

The space takes up two floors of a building on Pierrepont street in Brooklyn Heights that also houses offices for Morgan Stanley and the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.


MSNBC reports that it's not clear when Clinton or her team signed the lease. Under federal election rules, candidates have 15 days from the day they engage in campaign activities, like renting office space, to officially declare a run.

1. Two weeks would be about right for the Grand Opening of Clinton's Campaign.

From what I have gathered through comments anyway.

The site of the headquarters is 1 Pierrepont Plaza in the trendy neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. According to its website, the 19-story building is marketed as "Modern offices. Brooklyn Cool."

It is located conveniently by a number of popular restaurants and stores, including by Shake Shack, Chipotle, Starbucks and Urban Outfitters. (The building is also located where Clinton Street comes to an end.)

Federal Election Committee rules dictate that you have 15 days to form a committee after becoming a candidate, a distinction that involves crossing certain thresholds of campaign-related activity.

But, Clinton's team has not officially called this a "campaign headquarters" so for now it appears Clinton could be in the clear, campaign finance experts say.

Clinton's spokesman has declined to comment on the new offices, but when asked earlier this week at an event in Brooklyn if she plans to return to the borough any time soon -- Clinton was quick to respond:

"All in good time," she said, with a smile. "All in good time."
