20 years after it arrived in NYC, Google’s new campus will allow it to double its 7,000 strong workforce in the city.
Following Amazon’s controversial plans to build a new headquarters in New York, Google has announced plans to boost its presence in the city with a new $1 billion campus in the West Village.
The new campus, dubbed Google Hudson Square, will take up over 1.7 million square feet of space at 315 and 345 Hudson Street and 550 Washington Street.
The new leases follow Google’s recent $2.4 billion purchase of the Manhattan Chelsea Market where it has 7,000 employees. The new campus will give Google space to more than double its headcount in New York over the next decade. Amazon plans to fill its New York City headquarters in Queens with 25,000 employees.
