Andrew Burton—Getty Images by [Sam Frizell](https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/) ## Sam Frizell Apr 3, 2015 2:58 PM UTC Hillary Clinton’s team has signed a lease for a campaign headquarters in downtown Brooklyn, TIME has learned, moving the former Secretary of State closer to her all-but-inevitable announcement this month: she is running for president. The lease was signed in the last two days, giving Clinton until around April 15 to officially announce her candidacy for president before she runs afoul of campaign finance laws. Clinton’s offices will be located at 1 Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn Heights, an office building with views of New York Harbor and southern Manhattan. The team will work from the 10th and 11th floors of the 19-story building, taking up more than 80,000 square feet of space. One Pierrepont Plaza was constructed in the 1980s, and the Clinton campaign will share the tower with the office of the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York and Morgan Stanley. Clinton’s operation would occupy even more space than President Obama did during his reelection campaign in 2011 and 2012, when he leased 50,000 square feet of space in the Prudential Building in Chicago. In promotional material, the building bills itself as “Modern Offices. Brooklyn Cool.” The tower is in the genteel and upper-middle-class Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, close to nearly a dozen subway lines and just a few stops from Downtown Manhattan. The building is owned by Forest City Ratner, whose chairman Bruce Ratner is a Democrat and an ally of New York City mayor Bill de Blasio. De Blasio served on Clinton’s 1999 campaign for Senator in New York. The Clinton team worked with two brokers from the international real estate firm CBRE, Roshan Shah and Keith Caggiano, who have advised the Clintons for several years. As [TIME previously reported](http://time.com/3702341/hillary-clinton-brooklyn-queens/), [CBRE](http://www.cbre.com/EN/Pages/Home.aspx) has been advising Clinton on her Brooklyn office space for months, and assisted the Clintons’ office move from Harlem to Midtown Manhattan in 2011. [_Politico_](http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/hillary-clinton-campaign-headquarters-brooklyn-116649.html) first reported Clinton’s team had signed the lease. ### See Hillary Clinton's Evolution in 20 Photos  Teenager: Hillary Rodham poses in her 1965 senior class portrait from Park Ridge East High School in Illinois.

Now is our chance to beat the historical odds, and give the American people the health security they need. If there is one message that echoes forth from this. Let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right- wing conspiracy that has been conspiring. Against my husband since the day he announced for president. I would be happy to, when you give me the signed letters. Well, right here. Right here. When you give me. Right here. Sign it right now. We'll shake. We'll shake on this, Ray. No, no, I want your signature, cause I think that everybody wants to see you signing something that you said you were for. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. I just don't wanna see us fall backwards. Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. The battle to stop Al Qaeda and its affiliates. Does not end with one death. What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. I took the unprecedented step of asking that the state department make all my work- related emails, [ MUSIC ] Public for everyone to see.
