Move to Rockefeller Center Significantly Expands Morrison’s Footprint in New York City

Morrison, a leading global infrastructure investment firm with more than US$25 billion in assets under management, today announced that it has opened its new North American headquarters to accommodate its growing U.S. investment team. The 8,000 square foot office space is located at 600 Fifth Avenue at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

Founded in New Zealand in 1988, Morrison has been a pioneer in infrastructure investing for more than three decades. As a long-term thematic investor, Morrison aims to identify investment opportunities that will benefit from long-term trends linked to the evolving needs of societies and economies. These include the energy transition, connectivity and digitization, global mobility, aging populations, and the circular economy. Today, Morrison has one of the largest specialist infrastructure teams with more than 200 professionals operating across seven global offices.

Morrison expanded its investment activities into North America nearly a decade ago with a focus on its global renewables and digital platforms. The firm made its first investment in Longroad Energy, now among the top 10 largest renewable energy developers in the U.S., in 2016, and acquired FiberLight, a major provider of critical network infrastructure in Texas, in 2023.

Highlighting the firm’s longstanding focus on the North American market, William Smales, Partner and Chief Investment Officer, said, “Our new expanded office in New York underscores our commitment to having an established, boots-on-the-ground presence in North America. Since formally establishing this presence in 2020, we have thoughtfully and deliberately scaled our team in the region, building upon Morrison's time-tested investment approach, deep local market experience, and networks. Now with ample room for continued growth and an active deal pipeline, we are excited to anchor our focus on new investment activities and client relationships in the U.S. and Canada, newly based at Rockefeller Center.”

Joining Mr. Smales in the New York office are Perry Offutt, Partner and Head of North America, and Melissa Richards, Partner and Head of Strategy, Product & Growth, who are supported by approximately 20 other professionals on the ground.

Rockefeller Center is a global icon built nearly a century ago as a “city within the city.” Owner and operator Tishman Speyer has embarked on a revitalization of the Center which will culminate in the coming months, ensuring the Morrison team operates from the city’s most dynamic destination to work, play, dine, and shop.
