Abacus Global Management has packed up its MetroWest digs and moved its corporate headquarters into Truist Plaza at Church Street Station, planting a much bigger flag in downtown Orlando’s central business district.

The publicly traded alternative asset manager said Thursday that the relocation not only puts the company in the city’s core but also significantly expands its local office footprint.

In a press release via Orlando Business Journal, Jay Jackson, chairman and chief executive officer of Abacus Global Management, said, "This move is about more than a new address. It positions Abacus for the next phase of our growth." The company is framing the shift downtown as part of a broader strategy to centralize operations and support additional hiring in the urban core.

Lease details and market context

A Newmark office-market report shows Abacus Life executed roughly a 52,010-square-foot sublease at Truist Plaza, a big jump from the roughly 12,863 square feet the firm occupied on Park Center Drive in MetroWest. Newmark notes the deal as one of the largest office leases signed in the fourth quarter of 2025 and points to it as a prime example of the “flight to quality” trend among Orlando tenants; the full breakdown is available from Newmark Research.

Abacus, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABX and reports roughly $3.6 billion in assets under management on its corporate site, has been ramping up its origination and trading activity. In a March 24 press release via GlobeNewswire, the firm announced record originations and capital deployment for 2025, results that company leadership says make the timing of the downtown relocation particularly fitting.

What the move means for downtown Orlando

For downtown Orlando, landing a multi-floor financial services tenant of Abacus’s size is a notable vote of confidence at a time when many companies are still consolidating footprints or rethinking office needs. Class A towers like Truist Plaza offer transit access, amenities, and modern finishes that brokers say are luring tenants back to the city center, a dynamic outlined in the Newmark report and in the building profile on Downtown Orlando.

The Orlando Business Journal announcement did not specify a move-in date, and Abacus has not released a detailed public timetable beyond confirming the headquarters shift to Truist Plaza. Investors and prospective hires will have to keep an eye on the company’s investor relations materials and SEC filings for updates on the transition and any related operational changes.
