Lloyd's of London is moving its New York City headquarters from a nondescript building on Fifth Avenue to a new office tower owned by the Museum of Modern Art, just five blocks to the north.

The 5,000 square feet of new office space is on the 14th floor of the new office tower known as the Museum Office Building, located next to the Museum of Modern Art at 24 W. 53rd St. in Manhattan. Lloyd's spokeswoman Diane Kolman said the New York staff of Lloyd's will make the move from their current location at 590 Fifth Ave. some time in May.

The Museum of Modern Art itself occupies the base floors of the new building, according to CB Richard Ellis, a commercial real estate firm. "Lloyd's selected the Museum Office Building because of its excellent midtown location and prestigious image," CB Richard Ellis said in a statement.
