The announcement comes weeks after both Amazon and Apple made known their individual expansion projects in the Big Apple.
Google
revealed that it would invest $1 billion in the construction of
new offices in New York, an announcement that comes weeks after both
Amazon and Apple made known their individual expansion projects in
the Big Apple.
In
a posting on the company's blog, Google Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer Ruth Porat said the name of the new campus, which
will occupy 158,000 sq metres (1.7 million sq feet), will be Google
Hudson Square and will be located between Soho and Greenwich Village
neighbourhoods of Manhattan, EFE news reported on Tuesday.
In
an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Google's director of
public policy and government relations, William Floyd, noted that his
company's talk about increasing its payroll in New York over the next
10 years by another 7,000 employees is a "conservative
estimate."
"New
York City continues to be a great source of diverse, world-class
talent - that's what brought Google to the city in 2000 and that's
what keeps us here," Porat said.
Google,
with headquarters in Mountain View, California, joins two other tech
giants from the West Coast, Amazon and Apple, which recently
announced plans to further expand their presence in New
York.
