In another encouraging sign pointing to New York City's recovery, Google just announced it has acquired The St. Johns terminal in Hudson Yards for $2.1 billion. Google had been leasing the space and will be adding an additional 2,000 employees to their existing 12,000 employees already based in the city. Facebook (Midtown) doubled down on physical office space in New York. It signed a major deal during the pandemic making it one of the city's largest corporate tenants. Microsoft (Flatiron), Roku (Times Square), Amazon (Bryant Park) are also all expanding their NYC footprint. So, while financial firms may be finding they are in need of less space here in NY, tech companies large and small, attracted to the deep, educated labor pool, are expanding their presence in the Big Apple, driving net economic growth for our beloved city. In fact, in the second quarter, tech companies toured roughly 2.1 million square feet of NYC office space, 91% more than in the previous three months, according to commercial property This is exciting news for local businesses and cultural institutions, which are the lifeblood of our city. And naturally, we expect this highly-paid workforce to ultimately become buyers of residential real estate across all price points.
Could the technology industry be one of the key drivers of the city's recovery and the next real estate boom? We certainly think so!
