Google to spend $2.1 billion on Manhattan campus acquisition

Google to spend USD 2.1 billion on Manhattan campus acquisition Google is planning to buy St. John’s Terminal in New York City for USD 2.1 billion, making it the anchor of its Hudson Square campus.

The announcement Tuesday arrives with the city buffeted by the pandemic and most offices still largely unpopulated.

While CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post late last month that Google is delaying its global return to offices until January 10, the commitment by the company to further invest in New York City real estate was trumpeted both by Mayor Bill De Blasio, and New York Gov. Governor Kathy Hochul.
